WPForms – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Survey Form, Quiz & More

Reviewers are largely happy with WPForms, praising its easy setup and reliable support, though a couple flag the free version's limits versus the paid tiers.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

3609 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 3241 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 25% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago and the previous band took 2.1 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 6M.

   WPForms is one of the best WordPress form plugins I have used. It is easy to set up, beginner-friendly, and works smoothly with contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, and custom forms. The drag-and-drop builder saves a lot of time, and the forms are responsive on both desktop and mobile. Overall, it’s a reliable plugin that I highly recommend for any WordPress website.

   The free version is a bit limited, but with the paid version, you can easily create all sorts of forms using templates. The code is very easy to embed, at least with WordPress.
