If you’re looking to add professional survey capabilities to your WordPress site, the Gravity Forms Survey Add-on is the standard-bearer. It transforms a standard form builder into a data analysis tool.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The Survey Add-on is not a standalone plugin; it requires the Gravity Forms core plugin.
License Tier: Available only with the Elite or Nonprofit licenses. (It is not included in the Basic or Pro plans).
WordPress Version: Requires WP 6.5+ (Recommended: 6.9+).
PHP Version: Requires PHP 7.4+ (Recommended: 8.3+).
Database: MySQL v8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+.
Once installed, a new “Survey” field appears under Advanced Fields. Within that one field, you can toggle between 8 specific survey subtypes:
| Field Type | Best Use Case |
| Likert | Measuring attitudes (e.g., “Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree”). Supports multiple rows/questions in one table. |
| Rank | Allows users to drag and drop items to put them in a preferred order. |
| Rating | The classic 5-star (or custom scale) visual rating. |
| Radio Buttons | Standard single-choice selection. |
| Checkboxes | Multiple-choice selection. |
| Dropdown | Space-saving single-choice selection. |
| Single Line Text | Short, open-ended feedback. |
| Paragraph Text | Long-form qualitative feedback. |
Survey Results Dashboard: A dedicated tab in your WordPress admin that generates aggregate charts and graphs (pie charts, bar graphs) automatically based on submissions.
Scoring (Likert Only): You can assign weighted values to specific Likert rows to calculate an overall “Satisfaction Score” or “Engagement Level.”
Conditional Logic: Fully supports showing or hiding survey questions based on previous answers (e.g., “If Rating < 3 stars, show ‘Why were you unhappy?'”).
Filtering: Results can be filtered by date range or specific field values (e.g., “Show me results only from customers who gave a 5-star rating”).
Merge Tags: Use tags like {survey_score} in your notifications or confirmation messages to show users their results instantly.
Theming: Supports the Orbital Form Theme, allowing for modern, high-contrast survey layouts that look great on mobile.
Exporting: Data can be exported to CSV or synced with Google Sheets (via additional add-ons or Zapier) for external heavy-duty analysis.
Multi-Page Surveys: You can split long surveys into multiple pages with a progress bar to reduce “form fatigue.”
