Why switch
What you get with FillKite
Free where Fluent charges
Conditional emails and thank-you messages, popup forms, webhooks and automatic deletion of old entries are Pro in Fluent Forms and free in FillKite.
Leads that get answered
A reply timer on every entry, reminders when a lead waits, a lead quality badge and automatic retries for failed emails.
SMTP built in
Fluent Forms relies on the separate FluentSMTP plugin. FillKite sends through your mail server itself and checks your sender domain.
Lower price
FillKite Pro is $49, $99 and $199 a year for 1, 5 and unlimited sites. Fluent Forms Pro is $63, $127 and $239.
Switching
Moving from Fluent Forms
Rebuild the form
FillKite does not import Fluent Forms forms. Start from one of 5 templates and 29 field types; most forms take a few minutes.
Bring your entries
Export your entries from Fluent Forms as a CSV file, then use FillKite → Import → Entries from a CSV file and match the columns to your fields.
Swap the shortcode
Put the FillKite block, Elementor widget or shortcode where the old form was.
