What it does
Some services are priced by the word: proofreading, custom writing, classified ads, content submissions and social media posts. Quoting those jobs by hand is slow, and customers often have no idea what they will pay until someone replies. This plugin moves that math into the form itself. It reads the word count in a text field and turns it into a price, updating the total on screen while the customer is still typing.
It works with Gravity Forms Paragraph and Post Body fields, along with other textarea fields, and relies on the native Gravity Forms word count for its calculations. You can set a base price that covers a minimum number of words and cap how many words a field accepts. It handles multiple currencies with proper price formatting, supports the Gravity Forms rich text editor, and offers PHP filters and hooks for developers who need custom pricing logic.

Questions about GP Pay Per Word
Which form fields can I use for word-based pricing?
The plugin works with Gravity Forms Paragraph and Post Body fields, as well as other textarea fields. It also supports the rich text editors available in Gravity Forms, so formatted content can still be counted and priced.
Can I charge a flat fee that covers the first batch of words?
Yes. You can set a base price that includes a minimum number of words. Customers pay that base fee for text up to the included count, and the per-word pricing applies beyond it.
Can I stop customers from submitting too many words?
Yes. You can set a word count limit on Pay Per Word fields. This helps you enforce submission guidelines or keep orders within a maximum price you are comfortable with.
