No. The free plugin stores unlimited submissions in your own WordPress database — there is no cap, no per-entry fee, and no upgrade prompt when you cross some threshold.
No. The free tier is free permanently, not a trial. Pro adds payments, integrations, save and resume, and advanced fields when you need them, and every paid plan carries a 14-day money-back guarantee.
None from us. Pro takes payments with Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Square and Authorize.Net, and each of them charges its own processing fee. We do not add a percentage on top the way hosted form builders typically do.
No account. The zip from jnkplugins.com includes a small update client: it asks our license server whether a newer Trinity Forms is out, sending your site address, the license key the zip came with and the installed version, so WordPress can offer the update. Your form entries are never sent anywhere. The only other external call is the optional anti-spam CAPTCHA (Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha), which runs only when you turn it on and enter your own provider keys.
In your own WordPress database, in Trinity Forms' own tables. Nothing is sent to us, and you can export everything to CSV at any time.
It is preserved by default. Deactivating or deleting the plugin keeps your forms and entries — nothing is wiped unless you explicitly turn on "Delete all Trinity Forms data when the plugin is deleted" under Trinity Forms → Settings.
Pro keeps working as normal for 30 days, and the dashboard shows when that ends. Updates and support stop at expiry. After the 30 days you can no longer add new Pro fields or features, but your forms keep every Pro field they already have, payment forms keep taking payments with no time limit, and integrations keep firing. Nothing is deleted. Renewing unlocks Pro straight away, with nothing to re-download.
Through a self-hosted LicensorPro instance rather than a third-party SaaS. Activate your key from the plugin's License screen; auto-updates flow through the same channel.
New forms open in the drag-and-drop Visual Builder. Forms you built before upgrading keep opening in the block editor, so an upgrade never moves existing work — change them individually, or switch the site default under Forms → Settings → "Open forms in". Both editors read and write the same form, so you can switch either way at any time.
The form is probably a draft. Drafts show to people who can edit them and to nobody else. New forms save as published unless you pick Draft in the builder bar, and a draft placed on a page shows you a note above it ("Visitors see nothing here: form #N is a draft."). Publish the form and visitors see it.
Honeypot and time-trap checks are built in and free, with no third-party call. If you want a CAPTCHA as well, Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v2, invisible reCAPTCHA v3 and hCaptcha are supported with your own keys, also free, and so is Akismet if you use it. Every entry marked as spam says why. Pro adds spam rules for what a CAPTCHA lets through: too many links, banned words, languages you don't accept and throwaway email addresses, plus lists of blocked IP addresses and email domains, and an optional AI second opinion. Caught entries go to Spam, they are never deleted.
Click Send a test email on Settings or on any notification. WordPress can only confirm that an email was handed to your mail server, not that it reached the inbox, and the result says exactly that. If a form email cannot be sent, the entry shows the reason and your dashboard warns you about failures from the last 7 days. Pro can also alert you on Slack, Discord or by text message.
Yes. EntryVault turns submissions from any form plugin into a Kanban pipeline, and JnK Linkweave handles internal linking. All Access gets you all three for 44 to 50% less than buying them separately.
