Similar to WPForms, weForms has a free and a premium version, with more complex options and additional integrations saved for the upgrade. However, depending on your needs, the free version is great to start with as you build your online presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other plugins, once installed and activated, weForms adds a section to left sidebar menu in your WordPress dashboard. After clicking on<strong> weForms<\/strong>, you\u2019re shown an interface that fits seamlessly with the familiar WordPress setup. For this reason, weForms may be easier for users who become flustered with varying interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plugin automatically creates a basic contact form with your admin user that you can edit to your liking. Hovering over the created form and clicking <strong>Edit<\/strong> will take you to a drag-and-drop form editing area. Many options are available in the free version, but some are only accessible once you upgrade.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the <em>Form Editor<\/em>,\u00a0 you can also configure submission and display settings, update email notifications, and set up integrations. The free version allows you to set up integrations for Slack, WP ERP, and MailPoet. Additional integrations like MailChimp and Zapier are only available with an upgrade.<strong> <\/strong>A personal license is $39 a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 1.4.9, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WeForms_AddForm.png\" alt=\"WeForms dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-57250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WeForms_AddForm.png 969w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WeForms_AddForm-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WeForms_AddForm-768x456.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WeForms dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Edit-1024x773.png\" alt=\"Create form with weForms\" class=\"wp-image-57251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Edit-1024x773.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Edit-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Edit-768x580.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Edit.png 1101w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Create form with weForms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weforms_integrations-1024x774.png\" alt=\"weForms integrations\" class=\"wp-image-57252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weforms_integrations-1024x774.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weforms_integrations-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weforms_integrations-768x581.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weforms_integrations.png 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">weForms integrations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"953\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Settings.png\" alt=\"weForms settings\" class=\"wp-image-57253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Settings.png 953w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Settings-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/weForms_Settings-768x445.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">weForms settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"WPForms\">WPForms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms_.png 1018w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms_-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms_-768x339.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Easily one of the most popular WordPress form plugins, <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wpforms-lite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WPForms<\/a> has over 3 million active installs and is built with the beginner user in mind. The drag-and-drop form builder is packed with features, but some are only included in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpforms.com\/?utm_source=wprepo&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=liteplugin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">premium version<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a closer look at the free version, once installed and activated, the plugin adds a WPForms area to your WordPress dashboard accessible via the left sidebar menu. After clicking on <strong>WPForms<\/strong>, you\u2019re greeted with a how-to YouTube video, a button to <strong>Read the Full Guide<\/strong>, and a button to <strong>Create Your First Form<\/strong>. There is also information about addons and upgrading to their premium version for $199 a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After clicking <strong>Create Your First Form<\/strong>, the plugin presents a totally new interface for your form creation, completely covering the WordPress dashboard. For beginners, this may be jarring, but you can easily exit the screen but clicking the <strong>X<\/strong> in the upper right-hand corner.\u00a0 Like Forminator, they have a <strong>Simple Contact Form<\/strong> template you can select to being the form creation process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then edit the templated form, dragging and dropping options of the <em>Standard Fields<\/em> area on the edit screen. However, fields under the <em>Fancy Fields<\/em> area (like phone, address, file upload, etc) are locked for the premium version. Review the screenshot to see all the fields that are and are not available with the free version.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also set additional configurations under the <strong>Settings<\/strong> tab, including form name, minor design changes (you cannot easily change the font color but can add custom CSS), email notifications, and confirmation messages. But, again, the rest of the settings are locked behind the premium version.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For free, you can also integrate Constant Contact for email capture if you wish. Overall, if looking to create contact forms specifically, WPForms is a powerful, easy-to-use plugin. Though a good portion of the plugin features are saved for the premium version, depending on your needs, the free version may be enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 1.3.1, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms-1024x806.png\" alt=\"WPForms welcome screen\" class=\"wp-image-57245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms-1024x806.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms-768x604.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPForms.png 1113w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw -

It has a free version and three tiers of<a href=\"https:\/\/calderaforms.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> paid licenses<\/a> starting off at $49.50.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After installing and activating the plugin, you\u2019re redirected to your<em> Installed Plugin <\/em>section of your WordPress Dashboard. At the top, you\u2019ll see a message from Caldera with buttons prompting you to <strong>Get Started<\/strong>, <strong>Go Further<\/strong>, and to subscribe to their newsletter. Clicking Get Started or Go Further will actually take you to their website without opening a new tab. For beginners, this may confuse or startle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a form, you\u2019ll actually need to click on the new <strong>Caldera Forms <\/strong>option in the left sidebar menu. The interface is different from the WordPress interface users are used to, but it\u2019s easy to navigate once you take it all in. To start a new form, you only need to click on the <strong>New Form <\/strong>button at the top of the screen and then choose from the six presented templates or start a new form. Like many of the other plugins, Caldera Forms has a <strong>Contact Form<\/strong> option.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you select and name the form, you\u2019ll be taken to a form editor. Within the form editor, there is a short animation showing you how to drag and drop the field elements into the form. Slightly different from the previously mentioned plugins, Caldera shows you the available plugins <em>after<\/em> you\u2019ve added a new field to the form.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerning the available fields, many are available with the free version, including file upload and payment submission. You can also customize the confirmation email, configure overall email settings, add conditional logic, review form revisions, and set conditions for mobile responsiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 1.9.1, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Caldera_Install-1024x473.png\" alt=\"Caldera welcome from installed plugins screen\" class=\"wp-image-57257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Caldera_Install-1024x473.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Caldera_Install-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Caldera_Install-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Caldera_Install.png 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw -

It\u2019s lightweight, adding a simple, seamless area to your dashboard and is completely free. However, it does not store submissions and recommends another 3rd party for submission storage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon activating the plugin and clicking <strong>Contact<\/strong> in the left sidebar, you are taken to a screen listing your contact forms. The plugin creates a basic contact form for you using your admin user. You can edit this form by hovering it in the list and clicking <strong>Edit<\/strong>, or you can create a new form by clicking <strong>Add New<\/strong> at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The editing mechanics of Contact Form 7 is different than the other plugins mentioned. It is not a drag-and-drop builder, instead using code with dialog boxes to build and customize the form. The code is also displayed in place of a preview view like other plugins. This approach may confuse beginners who are used to the visual preview functionality of pages and posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plugin also allows you to edit the mail template, messages for various form situations (like submissions or errors), and provides an area for custom code. If you\u2019re familiar with code and desire a lightweight plugin, Contact Form 7 will be perfect for your website needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 1.9.1, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"927\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Contact7_NewForm.png\" alt=\"Contact Form 7 dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-57264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Contact7_NewForm.png 927w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Contact7_NewForm-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Contact7_NewForm-768x567.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw -

For free, Ninja Forms provides many features that allow you to create a robust contact form with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 3.4.24.3, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_AddNew-1024x528.png\" alt=\"Ninja Forms dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-57266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_AddNew-1024x528.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_AddNew-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_AddNew-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_AddNew.png 1137w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ninja Forms dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_Edit-1024x819.png\" alt=\"Editing a form in Ninja Forms\" class=\"wp-image-57267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_Edit-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_Edit-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_Edit-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_Edit.png 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Editing a form in Ninja Forms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_email-1024x819.png\" alt=\"Ninja Form settings\" class=\"wp-image-57268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_email-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_email-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_email-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ninja_email.png 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ninja Form settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Formidable-Form-Builder\">Formidable Form Builder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable.png 990w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable-768x360.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/formidable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Formidable Form Builder<\/a> has 300,000 active installations and boasts creating the most extendable form builder plugin.\u00a0 There is a free version and <a href=\"https:\/\/formidableforms.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three tiers of paid options<\/a> that start at $149.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After activation and navigating to the Formidable section via the left sidebar in your WordPress dashboard, you\u2019re greeted with a slightly different, clean interface. Similar to other plugins mentioned, there is also an automatically created contact form that you can edit, or you can create a new form by clicking the <strong>Add New <\/strong>button.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the edit screen, you can drag-and-drop new fields as well as edit the fields. You can also see what would be available to you if you upgrade. You can also edit the email notifications, configure basic styling, add custom styling, and view form entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, once in the edit screen, you\u2019ll notice the main left sidebar minimized, giving the edit screen more real estate but keeping the WordPress menu visible. This will probably help new WordPress users feel more comfortable with the plugin interface.\u00a0 Like other drag-and-drop form builders, Formidable is perfect for beginners and can grow as your business grows.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 4.06, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_NewForm-1024x628.png\" alt=\"Formidable dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-57270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_NewForm-1024x628.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_NewForm-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_NewForm-768x471.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_NewForm.png 1121w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Formidable dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_EditForm-1024x788.png\" alt=\"Editing a form in Formidable\" class=\"wp-image-57269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_EditForm-1024x788.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_EditForm-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_EditForm-768x591.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_EditForm.png 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Editing a form in Formidable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_Settings-1024x792.png\" alt=\"Formidable Settings\" class=\"wp-image-57271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_Settings-1024x792.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_Settings-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_Settings-768x594.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Formidable_Settings.png 1132w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Formidable Settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Final-Comparison\">Final Comparison\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, all of the form plugins offer basic contact form functionality and most with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder.
