Pricing and quiz source
- The free plugin on WordPress.org is a general-purpose form builder. Quiz scoring is documented as a separate capability tied to paid plans; the exact plan that unlocks it must be checked at purchase time because vendor tiers change.

- No paid package, trial account or borrowed licence was used for this showcase.
Verified claims from documentation
- Only one quiz form action is allowed per form. This is stated in the official knowledge base and is a hard architectural constraint for multi-quiz flows.

Standard Ten coverage
Coverage was not measured on the live bench. Based on vendor documentation, the quiz action can score form submissions and assign totals, which maps conceptually to single-answer and calculated-result quizzes. Specific question-type support for the Standard Ten (multiple-correct, true/false, fill-in, ordering) should be treated as unverified for the free tier and checked against the paid plan documentation at purchase time.
| Question | Expected support | Evidence basis |
|---|---|---|
| Q1–Q6 single-answer MCQ | Likely supported | Form builder radio/checkbox fields + quiz scoring action |
| Q7 multiple-correct | Unverified | Not confirmed without paid plan access |
| Q8 true/false | Likely supported | Binary radio field + scoring |
| Q9 fill-in | Unverified | Text field matching logic not confirmed |
| Q10 ordering | Unverified | No documented ordering field type in free plugin |
Live measurements
Not applicable. No page load, asset weight, admin-menu or attempt-completion data was captured because the plugin was not installed on the showcase bench.
Catches and caveats
- Quiz is not a first-class question type in the free plugin. It is a scoring layer on top of form fields, so the authoring experience is form-first rather than quiz-first.
- One quiz action per form. Multi-stage or branching quizzes would need separate forms or workarounds.
- Paid capability. Any comparison that treats Formidable as a free quiz plugin is comparing against the wrong tier.
- No live conflict data. Coexistence findings on the showcase bench do not include Formidable.
Verdict
Formidable Forms is a mature, well-rated form builder with a documented quiz-scoring add-on. For pure quiz use cases it should be evaluated against its paid tier, where the one-action-per-form limit and question-type coverage become the decisive factors. It remains documentation-tier in this audit because the quiz capability is paid and was not reproduced on the live bench.
See the evidence tiers page for the rules that govern this classification, and the licensing and value comparison for the paid-product boundary.
