So much so that I'm an affiliate and wholeheartedly recommend them to my clients. It's a powerful piece of software and almost anything you want to do can be done. The ease of use is a huge bonus for my clients who are not tech savvy. Pros I absolutely adore . I use it myself and recommend it to all my clients. It's very easy to use - there's a drag and drop interface so you can build the form very quickly. You can add email notifications that go to the user as well as anyone else who needs to be notified. You can also redirect to a different page upon submission which is nice. If you want to do some advanced calculations and have conditional elements, that's also possible and quite powerful. This part does have a bit of a learning curve, but the majority of users will probably not need it. However, if you do get stuck, just reach out to their support, and they walk you through exactly what you need to do in order to create the form you want. I've got nothing but good things to say about their support team. Each form has a section where you can view entries and export whatever view you'd like. You can create a PDF template to send to your users if you're building things like purchase orders from the form input. You can accept payment as well which is really handy for one-off purchases. Subscriptions are not supported as far as I have seen, but it is easy to sell items or collect donations. Cons There's not a whole lot to not like, really. One thing I'd love for them to do is to have some kind of global fields. I often build forms that need the same fields and while I can copy whole forms and edit those, sometimes you just need to add one or two things and having some global elements would be a real time saver.

" March 26, 2026 5.0 I love cognito - it revolutionized the way I'm able to operate my organization and streamlined formerly arduous tasks.

Definitely recommend. Pros It is quite easy to use and set up the way intended fr data collection without too much of a learning curve. Our team receives email notifications, so everyone is informed of when clients submitted information and we can take next steps in the process. Cons Creating an automated cost calculation form can be a little bit tricky when it comes to 4-5 variables and up to 30 options each but with time and patience it can be don.

It’s a reliable and powerful tool that supports a wide range of needs, from simple forms to more complex systems.

Pros is pretty intuitive and easy to use, even for more complex workflows. The form builder is flexible, and I appreciate the ability to customize fields, calculations, and conditional logic. It’s been especially helpful for organizing school processes like sign-ups and data collection. I’ve also found tools like ChatGPT helpful for learning new features and improving how I use Cognito Forms more efficiently. Cons Some of the more advanced features, like calculations or conditional logic, can take time to learn and aren’t always immediately intuitive. There are also some limitations in formatting and design customization compared to more design-focused platforms. At times, troubleshooting more complex forms requires a bit of trial and error.

Even though we maintain a separate primary database, we rely heavily on Cognito for its flexibility and ease of use. It allows us to gather information from members and visitors without cluttering our main records. The system keeps us updated in real-time, ensuring that form submissions are seen and acted upon by the right staff members immediately. We use it for everything from general sign-ups to complex finance workflows, and it has consistently met our needs. Pros The platform is incredibly user-friendly and affordable. We love how easy it is to embed forms directly into our website, creating a seamless experience for our congregation. The ability to handle purchase requisitions and supply requests within the app has also been a game-changer for our finance tracking. Cons While the platform is powerful, managing data across two separate systems (Cognito and our main database) requires a bit of manual oversight to ensure everything stays organized.

The ability to collect information and it's integration with Power Automate has given me the ability to increase the effectiveness of every organization. Pros The learning curve and ease of use is great. Customizability is superior to any other forms builder. I love their continued launch of new features. Having used since 2014, it has been amazing to watch the growth. Cons I wish there was a way to add files that others can download from the form as opposed to a content section.

I have taken it with me to multiple organizations and implemented it as an easy-to-use tool. I will continue to use it as it provides a lot of value for me. Pros It's very easy to use and there are so many features that help with various types of data collection needed for my organization. It allows me to keep track of different information and house it for a point of reference. I enjoy the automated updates I can trigger to send myself via email.

It's allowed us to have a collective data driven spreadsheet for all entries to import into our own spreadsheets. Pros It does everything we need it to do for our sports league registrations. Before we had to use one form for information, and another form for payment. Now it's all consolidated into one form. Cons The lack of ability to copy form fields from one form to another. So we have to recreate each form field. Should be simple to copy/paste from other forms you've created so you don't have to recreate from scratch for all the different forms that need the same info.

May 1, 2026 5.0 I'm starting to use it for a lot of things I never thought I would. I work by myself, so the forms help automation a lot. Sending emails is a big thing. Giving quotes is also huge. Pros Ease of Use, I learned how to use this platform very quickly. Anyone with even a small background in Excel can learn it easily. Email Notifications can be customized a lot. This helps with my business for "boiler Plate" emails. Cons Reporting and Tracking, I'd like to see more of where and when my form users are bailing.

This helps eliminate mistyped and misspelling of names and other personal information we need to service our clients. Pros It is a very easy to use software. The learning curve is really short and the email notifications are great reminder to check our account for submitted forms. Cons It would ne nice if the input data could be link to other programs such as a CRM. This would help us from re-entering data that has already been submitted. Review Source AY Amanda Y.

President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic, well thought-out product at a reasonable price" May 9, 2025 5.0 Excellent. Very happy with it and it makes my life as a web developer much easier. Pros This is a really thoughtfully designed product, with a very fair and flexible pricing model. As a web developer, CognitoForms is extremely flexible and customizable both in the options it gives you to create the forms, and the options for integrating it into your site. As an alternative to things like WordPress contact form plugins, CognitoForms lets us stand up forms FAST and without having to deal with mail servers and delivery issues. It's also pretty powerful, you can have conditional logic (i.e. only display section X if input Y is Z) and tables where the user can add an arbtirary number of rows. There's also conditional logic to control when/if a submitted form is emailed out. They also make it really easy to add more users to your team, manage other CF accounts, and even transfer forms between CF accounts, which is great because sometimes a form starts off on our master account but has to be spun off to a client's own separate account. I also appreciate that I can create an unlimited number of forms and am only limited/billed based on submission entries because I have a large number of low-submission forms on most of my client sites. Cons I really don't have any critiques of , it's one of those rare products where they really seem to have thought of everything.

Compared to other similar third party form builders like Jotform, we found to be full-featured, customizable, and have a pricing structure we found suitable for our use case.

I love the versatility, and it really takes a lot of work away from me. I have recommended it to my company and between us, we have three accounts for different areas of the business. Pros It helps us adhere to GDPR Guidelines, keeps the data in one space, confidential, and easily disseminates data automatically via email for efficient use. Forms are easy to create in general, and it's easy to make each one unique for your needs. Cons Little fiddly to set up rules, especially if they are more complicated (ie, multi-layered).
