Choosing a forms plugin for WordPress.

Forms can be used on your website in a variety of different ways. From simple contact forms to product order forms to complex and conditional applications and content submission.

This video will guide you through deciding which forms plugin to use for your WordPress website. In this video we take a look and compare Gravity forms with Ninja forms and discuss their features, similarities and differences.

Gravity Forms

Pros of Gravity Forms:

  • Gravity forms has been around for a very long time and has established itself as a reliable and feature-rich forms plugin. It is one of the most-used forms plugins for WordPress.
  • Completely integrated with WPML, our recommended plugin for making a site multilingual. Easy form translation means only having one form on a site, translated into multiple languages. Ninja forms can be used on multilingual sites, but you’ll need to create a form for each language (no translated forms).
  • Integration with a ton of third party services, full list can be seen on their website by clicking the button below.

Ninja Forms

Pros of Ninja Forms:

  • Newer to the market than Gravity forms but has very quickly established an excellent reputation and is rapidly increasing in popularity.
  • Core plugin is free and can be downloaded via the WordPress repository.
  • Extensions can be purchased one-off if you need just a few pieces of functionality, or can be purchased with a license that includes extensions.
  • Better styling options via their Layout and Styles extension. It’s very easy to style and make ninja forms look good. There are free/third party plugins available for Gravity forms, but having a styling extension directly from the publisher is a big benefit.
  • Several integrations with third party services, full list can be seen on their website by clicking the button below.

Which plugin is right for you?

Which forms plugin is right for you will depend on your specific requirements, however here’s a few ways you can differentiate between them:

  • With the core ninja forms plugin being free, if you need standard forms and want a fantastic builder to create them with, but don’t need additional functionality like conditional logic, then Ninja forms is a great solution.
  • If you need additional functionality or integration with third party services, check out the extensions available for both and see which suits your needs the best, and which pricing plan and options works best for your budget.
  • Visually, the two plugins look very different. This won’t make a huge different from a technical point of view, but you may prefer the look and feel of one over the other, which will improve your personal experience when using them.

Check out both of the company websites to read more about them using the buttons above, and if you have any questions please feel free to post in the slack if you’re having trouble making a decision.
