What Ninja Forms is
Ninja Forms is a drag-and-drop form builder plugin for WordPress. It can create contact forms, calculators, quizzes, surveys, applications, and registration forms. The free core includes 31 form fields, calculations, signatures, star ratings, repeatable fieldsets, unlimited forms and submissions, and an AI form builder. Submissions are stored in the site's WordPress database; the maker says it does not see or collect that submitted data. Core includes an automatic honeypot and supports several other spam protections when installed. Paid add-ons provide features such as conditional logic, file uploads, multi-step forms, payments, save and resume, PDF submissions, and integrations with email marketing and CRM services. The listed paid plans bundle add-ons and site allowances: Plus covers 3 sites and 16 add-ons, Pro covers 20 sites and 28 add-ons, and Elite covers unlimited sites and all add-ons. Their first-year prices are $59.40 per year, $119.40 per year, and $299.40 per year, each with a 40% first-year discount and renewal at full price. Ninja Forms says technical support is free for every user. WordPress.com users need a plan that supports third-party plugins.
