Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form”, “form builder” and “survey” for “forms management system”, “inquiry form” and “custom forms”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “forms management system” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “inquiry form” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “survey” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “custom forms” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 90K of 8M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 16 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “contact form”, “form builder” and “survey” for “forms management system”, “inquiry form” and “custom forms”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “forms management system” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “inquiry form” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “survey” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “custom forms” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “contact form”. Down 5 places since 2026-08-04, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “survey”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

As an Internet page rookie I highly rely on support from plugin supplier or in this case the developer for this forms and its content tools. My questions were answered in a professional manner and not just scripted responses. If you feel comfortable you might even allow the team to check your webpage remotely to get things done or fixed. For me a great help …

I’ve been using Everest Forms for over 5 years and can honestly say it is the most important tool I have to manage a fishing club membership roster, take registrations for events, and canvas the membership with occasional surveys. Multi-page forms, conditional logic options, and attaching PDF files to notification e-mails are very useful in administering our organization. The one time I had problems, the support staff was very responsive and solved my problem quickly, even though it was not Everest Forms at fault, but another add-on from a different developer that was causing the problem. Thank you!

Excellent support from Sanju who politely and patiently pointed out the rookie error I had made resulting in the plugin not doing what I expected it to do. Thanks very much for the help!

I’ve been using <span class=”hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline”>Everest Forms</span> for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the easiest form plugins I’ve tried. The drag-and-drop builder is smooth, and creating forms doesn’t feel complicated at all. It works well for basic to medium-level needs.

Excellent contact form plugin. Lightweight, clean styling, and reliable delivery when paired with SMTP.

I needed a form plugin that could integrate with Dropbox for file attachments. Everest forms works great, and the few times I have reached out for support, the Everest team has been responsive and very helpful.
