Free WordPress contact form plugin with file upload and submission entries

By /

WordPress form plugins can help you create forms for your website without having to write any code. There are many WordPress form plugins available that can help you design and build a contact form for free. Some of the WordPress form plugins include WPForms, Ninja Forms, Fluent Forms, Gravity Forms, Forminator Forms, Formidable Forms, Contact Form 7 etc.

But are they really free for a contact form? Let’s compare in a few common contact form features:

  1. File upload
  2. Submission entries
  3. Recaptcha
  4. Drag and drop interface

Forminator Forms

The UI is good. You can create a contact form with file upload fields, send emails and view submission entries. I recommend using Forminator Forms if you are searching for a real free contact form solution.

  1. File upload ( Free and Pro )
  2. Submission entries ( Free and Pro )
  3. Recaptcha ( Free and Pro )
  4. Drag and drop interface ( Free and Pro )

Wpforms

The UI is great. You can create a simple contact form and send emails, all other features are in Pro. Not a really free contact form solution. If you need File uploader or submission entries, then avoid this plugin’s free version. I recommend using wpforms pro only.

  1. File upload ( Pro version )
  2. Submission entries ( Pro version )
  3. Recaptcha ( Free and Pro )
  4. Drag and drop interface ( Free and Pro )

Ninja Forms

The UI is okay. You can create a simple contact form, send emails and view submission entries. File upload is in pro. I recommend using Ninja forms if you don’t need a file upload in the contact form.

  1. File upload ( Pro version )
  2. Submission entries ( Free and Pro )
  3. Recaptcha ( Free and Pro )
  4. Drag and drop interface ( Free and Pro )

Contact Form 7

The UI is bad. You can create a contact form with file upload fields, send emails and view submissions. But you need to install a few more plugins e.g. Contact Form 7 Database Addon to achieve that.

  1. File upload ( Free )
  2. Submission entries ( Addon )
  3. Recaptcha ( Free )
  4. Drag and drop interface ( No )

Fluent Forms

The UI is great. Submssions is free, but file uploader needs pro version.

  1. File upload ( Pro )
  2. Submission entries ( Free and Pro )
  3. Recaptcha ( Free and Pro )
  4. Drag and drop interface ( Free and Pro )

Conclusion

Wpforms is a good choice if can afford pro version.

Forminator Forms is the best free solution if needs File upload and submission entries.

Fluent Forms is a good choice if needs submission entries, but doesn’t need File uploader.
