Ninja Forms is a WordPress plugin that helps you create a contact form with ease. You can use drag and drop features to create a contact form for your website without the need for learning codes. It features field templates, spam protection, theme styling, and many more. Ninja Forms is a great free WordPress contact forms plugin for WordPress, but is it worth the hype? That’s what we are here to find out! Let’s get started.
WordPress contact forms plugin
A website should always have a contact form. The reason is that it gives the users a window through which they can easily get in touch with you, and it makes the website look more authentic. The contact form also helps you get rid of the spammers, and avoid unwanted emails that may risk your privacy.
By adding a contact form, you give your users a chance to contact you with the addition of a personalized message. This way you know what a customer wants to contact you, and can reply to them quickly.
Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t have a built-in contact form builder. So you need to install a plugin from somewhere else and then create a contact form according to your website.
Ninja Forms Pricing
Ninja Forms pricing plans mainly include three pricing options with an additional ‘Add-on’ package. The pricing options are as follows:
Agency Plan
This plan is for an agency. It includes all the benefits and features provided by Ninja Forms such as plugin support for unlimited sites, all the add-ons – both current & future for free.
It is an amazing deal considering all the things they are providing, but don’t forget about the price. This plan will cost you $499/year, which in my opinion, is not much for a company.
Professional Plan
This plan is for a professional individual who works for a company or works as a freelance writer. It includes 20 sites support, empower clients, & users add-on, anywhere integration support, payment/donation acceptance support, and 40% off on all the add-ons that you purchase soon. It will set you back $199/year, which is also a fair deal.
Personal Plan
This plan is for a single person, which includes all the essential features such as single-site support, priority support, form building essentials, email marketing, payment acceptance support, and 20% off on all the add-ons that you purchase in the future. This plan will cost you 99/year, which is a lot of you ask me for single-site support.
Add-Ons Package
This package is only for purchasing add-ons and includes one to twenty sites support, priority support, and add-ons of your choice, that’s it. You can choose any add-ons, according to your requirement, and based on that, this package will cost you, from $29 to $129.
There you have it, the complete breakdown of the pricing option. Keep in mind that any subscription you buy will get automatically renewed after a year. So, in case you don’t want to continue with the services, be sure to cancel it.
Features
All the features of Ninja Forms are available in the form of add-ons. There are many add-ons available, but I have listed the important ones below:
With the help of this, you can create forms by dragging and dropping into the builder without having to write complex codes. It is a necessary add-on and is present in almost every plan.
Email Marketing
With the help of this add-on, you can implement email marketing services along with your WordPress contact form. By doing this, you can directly influence your users to buy more while signing up.
With the help of this add-on, you can reduce the number of spammers coming from your contact form by adding captcha or some other security check.
File Uploads
With the help of this plugin, you can upload files of different size and type quickly to WordPress, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3. Using this, you can also upload files directly to the form(s) you are designing.
PDF Form Submission
This add-on is my favorite one because, with the help of this, you can generate a PDF of forms you are designing or have designed and export it to somewhere else or share it with another person with the help of email.
It is another one of great add-ons, as it helps you accept donations/payments right from the form you have designed at a fraction of the cost. Saving you both money and gaining some.
And many more.
Ninja Forms is a great WordPress contact form plugin as it provides amazing functionality with the help of its vast number of add-ons. The whole environment, with all their add-ons, works really well.
The only thing I didn’t like about this service is that it is not as simple as it claims to be. The layout to design the forms is not simple, and everything is not available at the front. And the submit button (the button you press to submit the details entered in the contact form) is not accessible by default as soon as you create a new form layout to design.
You have to add one yourself. For the beginner, this may be very daunting, and for some, it could defeat the whole point of using a plugin.
All in all, the plugin was great, I enjoyed using it, and I loved the availability of different features. The price was also reasonable if you consider the services they are providing, and for the amount of period, they are providing.
For someone looking to speed up their WordPress site, this is a great tool.
