| 417 | == Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 418 | |
| 419 | = Is SureForms free? = |
| 420 | |
| 421 | Yes! SureForms is 100% free to download and use on the WordPress.org plugin directory. The free version includes the AI form builder, contact forms, payment forms via Stripe, GDPR compliance, anti-spam protection, native integrations, and 15+ form fields.

| 422 | |
| 423 | = How is SureForms different from other WordPress form plugins? = |
| 424 | |
| 425 | SureForms is the first AI-powered form builder built natively on the WordPress block editor. Most form plugins ship with their own proprietary builder you have to learn from scratch. SureForms uses the Gutenberg interface you already know, adds AI form generation so you can build a form from a single prompt, and includes payment forms, conditional logic, and native integrations in a clean, modern design. It's the modern alternative to legacy contact form plugins on WordPress. |
| 426 | |
| 427 | = How is SureForms different from Contact Form 7? = |
| 428 | |
| 429 | Contact Form 7 is a long-trusted plugin, but it relies on shortcodes and requires manual HTML for advanced layouts. SureForms is fully visual, drag-and-drop, mobile-first, and includes payment forms, AI form generation, conditional logic, and design controls out of the box — without needing add-ons. If you're upgrading from Contact Form 7, SureForms gives you a modern WordPress form-building experience without the technical setup. |
| 430 | |

SureForms Business also adds dedicated styling controls inside the Elementor widget and the Bricks element so you can match your form's appearance to your site's design without writing CSS. |
| 434 | |
| 435 | = Do I need coding skills to create forms using SureForms? = |
| 436 | |
| 437 | **No coding needed!** |
| 438 | |
| 439 | With SureForms' visual block builder, you can drag and drop Gutenberg blocks to create beautiful, responsive WordPress forms. Perfect for small business owners, freelancers, designers, or anyone who wants forms without technical skills. |
| 440 | |
| 441 | = What are the requirements to use SureForms? = |
| 442 | |
| 443 | You just need the latest version of WordPress and any theme. SureForms installs like any other plugin and is ready to use within seconds. |
| 444 | |
| 445 | = Can I use SureForms along with a Page Builder? = |
| 446 | |
