5 Best Contact Form Plugins for WordPress Compared

Are you looking to add a contact form on your WordPress site? Not sure which one of the 1625+ WordPress contact form plugins to use? In this article, we have hand-picked the 5 best contact form plugins for WordPress and compared their pros and cons, so you can easily add a contact form in WordPress.

Best WordPress Contact Form Plugins

1. WPForms

WPForms is the most beginner friendly WordPress contact form plugin. We use it on WPBeginner and all of our other websites. WPForms is built by the same team as WPBeginner with a single goal: Make a WordPress forms plugin that’s both easy and powerful.

WPForms Best WordPress Contact form plugin

Pros

WPForms’ drag & drop online form builder makes it the most user-friendly form plugin for WordPress.

WPForms Lite is available for free in the official WordPress plugin directory meaning you can install it on as many sites as you like for free.

The free version comes with all the basic contact form features including basic form fields, captcha for spam protection, email notifications, and a thank-you page for form confirmation.

The premium version allows you to extend the functionality, so you can build any type of forms such as multi-page forms, email subscription forms, payment forms, order forms, and more.

WPForms pro also comes with other powerful form fields and features like smart conditional logic, file upload, geo-location, signature feature, form abandonment, user-submitted content (post submissions), login and user registration for WordPress, and over 150+ pre-made form templates.

You can see all your form submissions right inside your WordPress dashboard as well as get customized email notifications. You can even setup conditional notifications, so the right person in your team gets notified.

WPForms surveys & polls addon is by far the best WordPress survey solution in the market. It comes with interactive survey reports, real-time polls for WordPress, and all smart survey fields like star ratings, likert scale, NPS, etc.

They also have a form landing page solution to help you create distraction-free form pages in WordPress.

WPForms integrates with all popular email marketing and payment platforms. There are documentation and guides available along with email support to help you when you need it.

WPForms is being used by over 1 million websites and have built quite a loyal following (See: WPForms user reviews).

Cons

While the lite version is free, you need to upgrade to Pro to unlock more powerful features.

Even though WPForms is powerful, the #1 goal of this plugin is to make it user friendly. That’s why it doesn’t have the more complex features that some other form plugins offer.

WPBeginner users can use this WPForms coupon that will give you 50% off the premium version of WPForms.

Alternatively, you can start with WPForms Lite for Free.

2. Formidable Forms

Formidable Forms is the most advanced WordPress form plugin in the market. They specialize in helping developers build complex form-focused solutions quickly.

Formidable Forms Advanced WordPress form plugin

Pros

Formidable is an all-in-one WordPress form builder that comes with powerful addons to help you go beyond simple contact forms.

You can use Formidable drag and drop interface to create advanced forms like quizzes, surveys, payment forms, registration forms, profile forms, and more.

Advanced users will really love the Formidable Views feature because it allows you to format, filter, and display user-submitted data on the front-end of your website. You can use it to create form-focused solutions like directories, job board listings, event calendars, management systems, rating systems, and more.

You can use Formidable’s advanced calculation fields to create powerful order forms as well as smart calculators like Mortgage calculator, car payment calculator, request a quote calculator, and more.

Formidable integrates with all popular email marketing and payment platforms.

They also have a powerful WooCommerce integration to help you build product forms and even WooCommerce product configurator forms that ties directly to your cart.

Cons

Formidable form builder is not as intuitive as WPForms because they focus on advanced users and developers.

But it makes up for it by being the most extendable form solution in the market. If you’re a developer or agency looking to build form-based solutions or data-driven web applications, then nothing in the market comes close to Formidable Forms.

3. Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms is a paid WordPress form builder plugin that comes with a lot of advanced functionality and features. They also specialize in helping developers build complex form related solutions.

Gravity Forms WordPress form plugin

Pros

Gravity Forms is a powerful drag and drop contact form plugin for WordPress.

With the help of additional add-ons, Gravity Forms can be used to create surveys, quizzes, user submitted content, and even web directory.

It comes with premium support options like FAQs, knowledge base, forums, and email support. This means that help is available when you need it.

Cons

Gravity forms does not have a free version, so it can be a bit expensive than other WordPress contact form plugins. However, if you are using it on multiple sites and projects, then the cost should not be a big deal.

4. Ninja Forms

Ninja Forms is a freemium contact form plugin for WordPress. It can be used to create highly interactive form with very little effort.

Ninja Forms WordPress Form Creation Plugin

Pros

The base plugin for Ninja Forms is available for free from the official WordPress repository. This means you can download and install it on as many sites as you like.

There are premium extensions which allow you to extend Ninja Forms functionality such as connecting with Campaign Monitor, Freshbooks, Salesforce, SMS notifications, etc.

There is a helpful community support option, as well as documentation, guides, and email support.

Cons

Even though the main plugin is available for free, the extensions are not. Buying two or more extensions or even the developer bundle will cost you nearly the same amount as WPForms or Formidable Forms.

5. Contact Form 7

Although we don’t recommend Contact Form 7, this list cannot be complete without the oldest and most downloaded contact form plugin in the official WordPress plugin directory.

Contact Form 7 Free WordPress Contact Form Plugin

Pros

Price is probably the most important advantage of using Contact Form 7. You are free to install it on as many sites as you want.

Although if you’re looking for a free WordPress form plugin, then WPForms Lite, Formidable Forms, and Ninja Forms are all significantly better solutions than Contact Form 7.

There are several third-party plugins that act as add-on plugins for Contact Form 7. Most of them are available for free.

Cons

Contact Form 7 is a below-average solution for creating a basic contact form for your blog. It is very difficult to set up for absolute beginners. The user interface is not intuitive at all.

Since it is a free plugin, support options are limited.

There are several third-party add-ons available for Contact Form 7, but the official plugin website doesn’t have an add-ons directory which makes it difficult to find add-ons to extend the functionality of the base plugin.

Which is the Best Contact Form Plugin for WordPress?

The plugins we mentioned in this article can all help you create a contact form plugin. However deciding the best WordPress form builder plugin varies based on your needs.

If you’re a beginner and don’t want to spend any money, then go with WPForms Lite.

If you’re a business owner and want to create powerful forms without learning code or hiring a developer, then go with the WPForms Pro version.

If you’re a developer trying to build more complex forms, then there’s no better solution than Formidable Forms.

Our overall pick for the best WordPress contact form plugin is WPForms.

We hope this guide helped you choose the best contact form plugin for your WordPress site. You may also want to take a look at our guide on the best WordPress backup plugins compared (Pros and Cons).

    You guys need to be more open about owning WPForms. You always make it the best and write nowhere that you own it. I think you have a great blog, but need to be more open about this with your readers.

      Hi Maxwell, thanks for leaving a response and your kind words about WPBeginner.

      With regards to WPForms, we do have WPForms listed in our Products section that’s visible in the top menu. We also recently did an announcement blog post about WPForms Form Pages which also included that WPForms is our product. It’s also mentioned in our FTC Disclosure page that’s linked from every page. Unfortunately, it’s simply not scalable to add a disclaimer every time we mention our products within the articles.

    I want to add function in my form like they have additional box if they selected the option.

    For example: I list 3 option = Single, Married & Divorced

    And then, if they select married, another form appear like name of spouse, age and so on.

    If they not select married, the additional form not appear. I used contact form 7 but it’s do not have the function.

    My question is what plugin form I can used to perform the function and it’s free or premium?

    Contact form 7 works well for me, but I heard it does load on every page which slows down the site, is wp form loads only for the exclusive pages?
    I mean does it hamper site speed?

    Obviously, this is either outdated or wrong. There is a paid upgrade called “Pirate forms extended”, avaiable on the official plugin-developer-site.

    I just started a web hosting and design business. This site was very useful to point me towards the more popular form builders out there. I just have two follow ups that I am hoping I can get some help with.

    First, the information for Formidable Forms seems to be outdated. Specifically the cost. According to their site there are now four packages to choose from. The cheapest (one site) is $49/yr. The most expensive (unlimited) is $399/yr. they have three site and fifteen site options in between.

    Second, I originally was going to go with Gravity Forms based on the review here and executing their demo it appears it offers all of the customization and features I need. However, there are a lot of negative review regarding support and I do not care to be dead in the water on the occasion that I need support.

    I have used WPForms Lite and I was very happy with it and how easy it was to create a form. However, the form was a simple contact form. I am now in need of creating file upload forms, registration foms, and others. I am concerned that as my customization needs grow it may outgrow what WPForms offers given that WPForms simplifies the user interface to make it easier for beginners. I do not expect any solution to satisfy everyone’s needs. I just need help finding the solution that will serve me best moving forward. I could probably get away with a 15 or 20 site package while my business grows. So, I can take advantage of cost savings that way. However, I would like something that offers a strong feature set without forcing you to dip into your wallet every time you want to add a feature (a.k.a no Ninja Forms). If anyone can please help I would appreciate it

    I love Contact Form 7. For me it is one of the best things that ever happened to WordPress. I came over from Joomla many years ago to WordPress because Joomla lacked a contact form module I could use and I use Contact Form 7 on all my sites (more than 10 sites). It deploys so fast – has an unfair advantage over drag-and-drop type contact forms – if you need lots of forms.

    When I try to enter the shortcode in the shortcode widget and hit apply, nothing happens.

    Is there a way to use WP Froms with Elementor?

    Thanks!

      Hey Trevor,

      WPForms works well with Elementor. However, Elementor’s live editor does not refresh to allow shortcode execution. This means that after adding your shortcode you’d need to save your page and then view the preview in a new window or publish the page and view your form on the live page.

    Not sure why anyone uses Contact Form 7 today.

    Contact Form 7 may be the grand daddy of these plugins but it is now old and despite only using the form on a single page of a site it loads for every page on a site. So if you have 200 pages on your site and only one contact page with the Contact Form 7 installed on, it still loads for every single page……..slow, slow, slow sites.

    Syed, It would be interesting to know which, if any, of the other plugins that you mention also slows a WordPress site down.

    Hi, Contact Form 7 worked at first back some 2.5 years ago. The user interface for customizing is difficult to understand. Then all of a sudden, it stopped working, and yes I do the updates. I went in to their instructions on their website and followed exactly. Just looking at it again today after reading your post. Following their instructions to insert it onto my Contact Page. After Updating the page, all that shows is the copied and pasted coding, no form. Yes, I did copy and paste the form code into the Text version of the page.

    I am going to right now delete Contact Form 7, because I think it’s a pain in the you know what, and I don’t know why it is so popular. Going to try WPForms. Thank you for the article.

    It would be great if your review included how well these forms perform, such as formatting on a mobile device versus a desktop, how adaptable they are and how easy (or not) they are to properly size. Also, do any of them cause a drag on performance. These are the questions I have.

    WPForms has an issue with reCaptcha, where it allows forms to be submitted before checking reCaptcha. If there is a problem, the page does a full reload, resulting in all user inputted data being lost.

    I like Ninja Forms, but styling is not the best there. I hate Contact Form 7, is not user friendly and formating is hard. I love the contact form in Divi.

    THANK YOU! I installed WPForms and quit banging my head against screen trying to get another plugin to behave.

    I’d like to know which provide the best reporting tools. I’m currently using Contact Form 7 and the Contact Form DB and I’m struggling with reporting. (I can only get my data from a single form entry in a single row?)

      Please take a look at WPForms plugin. It is a form builder plugin for WordPress and it will allow you to create your custom order form.

    Which of these forms is mobile responsive though?
    I’ve noticed that some email forms aren’t responsive at all.

      WPForms works great on all devices.

    I use Gravity Forms on two of my sites but have found their support to be lacking. The form works great but I’m having trouble with hotmail & gmail email users receiving the automated notifications I’ve generated. Is this particular to Gravity Forms? If so – which other plugin would you recommend, and if not is there a way around this challenge? Thanks

      Doesn’t sound like a form issue – more likely your shared hosting includes accounts blacklisted by gmail.

    Hello,

    What is the best form to use if someone wants a very basic contact form on a site, with replies going to two different email addresses?

    The website doesn’t want to take surveys or anything like that – just wants to use the form instead of having email addresses published on it.

      With WPForms you can easily add two recipients to your forms.

    I have been using contact form 7 and now I can see how much functionality there is in the pro plugins, many thanks for this post, I recommended it to someone I know who is struggling with contact form 7

    I also get some warning with contact form 7 about authenticating the form I am not sure what this means, does any body know about any issues with contact form 7

    I don’t think WPForms has a free option. It has a pre-paid 14-day trial but that’s all I could find.
