Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form”, “form builder” and “wordpress form plugin” for “feedback form”, “feedback forms” and “enquiry form”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feedback form” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feedback forms” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress form plugin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “enquiry form” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 460.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 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 15 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 “wordpress form plugin” for “feedback form”, “feedback forms” and “enquiry form”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feedback form” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feedback forms” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress form plugin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “enquiry form” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “custom form”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ wpriders8mo ago
Our team genuinely loves this plugin. It’s an incredibly useful tool for creating forms directly within Gutenberg, and it makes the entire process straightforward and efficient. The free version is more than generous, offering everything needed to cover a wide range of common use cases. There are plenty of customization options available in the backend, making it flexible without being complicated. For building and adding a basic form to your website, it includes nearly everything you could need. It’s an excellent solution and one we highly recommend.

Yes, definitely YES! Gutena Forms is an absolute standout for anyone building forms directly in Gutenberg. It’s incredibly user-friendly: drag-and-drop blocks make setup a breeze, no coding required. The free version punches way above its weight, handling contact forms, feedback surveys, registrations, and more – with extensive backend customization for styling, validations, notifications, and integrations. Everything from field types to success messages is tweakable without hassle. Honestly, I couldn’t spot a single gap for basic-to-moderate form needs (the only exception is the Phone field, available in PRO). If you’re tired of bloated plugins, this lightweight gem delivers pro results for free. 5 stars all the way!

It works great! I like it!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ch32521.8y ago
I realised that I wasn’t receiving any emails from form submissions on my Gutena Forms contact form. I reached out to Gutena support, but didn’t have a reply (yet). I tried a different forms plugin, and it worked properly. So I uninstalled Gutena Forms. A shame, because I like the idea of a light touch plugin, and I customised it easily to look the way I want. But if the Submit button causes contacts to vanish without a trace or warning, that’s a deal breaker. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by ch3252.

Really happy I stumbled across Gutena Forms. Absolutely perfect for what I was needing and the fact that it’s block based is another win.

I was looking for an efficient yet lightweight plugin for a contact form for my professional consultancy website. Gutena form is awesome, fully customisable, you can be up and running in 5 minutes. Extra extra bonus for their support – i had a small query and answered me superfast. Fab plugin. 100% recommended

and great support
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ spacecharly3.1y ago
Installation and use are smooth and easy. I needed their support to find out that my own database was really too old and they helped me solve this issue, although it was not a plugin issue, thanks a lot! Working perfect, I bought the PRO version now and installed it on two websites.
