WPForms Lite

Our take

WPForms Lite is the easiest way to build a good-looking contact form without touching code. The catch is that many features you see advertised, such as conditional logic, file uploads, multi-page forms and viewing entries in the dashboard, belong to the paid version. For a straightforward contact form it is excellent; if you need saved entries for free, look at Fluent Forms.

Good

  • Very easy drag-and-drop builder
  • Large library of templates
  • Built-in spam protection
  • Stripe, Square and PayPal payments

Watch out

  • Entries can only be viewed in the paid version
  • Conditional logic and file uploads are paid
  • Lots of upgrade prompts

WPForms Lite is the free edition of one of the most popular form builders for WordPress. You pick a template or start blank, drag fields such as name, email, dropdown or checkboxes into place, and embed the finished form with a block or a shortcode. Notifications go to your email as soon as someone submits.

Forms are responsive and work on any theme. The free version also includes simple payment forms, so you can collect a fee or donation without a separate shop plugin.

What you get for free

  • Drag-and-drop form builder
  • Form templates for common uses
  • Email notifications and confirmation messages
  • Spam protection with a hidden token, plus CAPTCHA options
  • Payment fields for Stripe, Square and PayPal
  • Block and shortcode for embedding

WPForms Pro adds conditional logic, file uploads, multi-page forms, entry management and marketing integrations.
