Backdraws

if you're not familiar with how can you install zip file to WordPress website and install plug-in then might need read how to add plugin to WordPress on there page because they don't provide any installation support but life time update support and bug fix support are available.

2. Ninjaforms (freemium)

Ninjaforms is one of the form which i would recommend to personal blog,  protfolio website, micro niche blogger etc  and its available in freemium among users of WordPress contact plugin, one of the reason behind my recommendation is they highly attractive and appealing to customer.

Features 

its available in WordPress plugin repository which means to directly install to your WordPress website by downloading but basic version , for premium version you need make separate payment.

if needed to further extend functionality of Ninjaforms  through establishing contact with salesforce , freshbooks, notification etc.

Similarly ajax and validation, responsive design, contact form 7 support, MailChimp opt-in, translatable and modern input effect.

Ninjaform have supportive community as well as well guides, documentation, and email support.

Backdraws

its main contact form plugin available on WordPress respository but not extension of ninjaforms and separate payments required sperataly but if you bought from here ninja kick series will cost less then wpforms premium including extensions MailChimp, modern input effect.

everything is fine but one thing which make little annoying its works as sidebar and left margin on bottom and right side.

3. Formidable Forms (Free/premium)

Frist time gotten stumble across this from because it's has all the features that makes most powerful form and different among thousands of forms, stand out a clear winner.

Features

Most liked features among form are drag and drop to create a  most powerful and secure contact form, quizzes form, puzzles, registration form , survey form , payment form etc.

formidable forms have smart calculater  for example request a quote, mortgage calculator, car payment calculator, etc and also made most powerful order form.

Payment platform, email marketing integration, woo commerce integration, woo commerce product configuration to goes straight add to cart in formidable form.

when require to find out specific details regarding to your customers that all details filled out on your website then there is filter and format data stored on your database.

Backdraws

fromiable form set higher price than others forms where a forms price ends, from their  price start for user if you're a user didn't care about money over quality and then its right fit for you but far institutive then WPforms and there is no form which is close to formibale in any  manner whether add-ons, design, functionality .

4. Gravity forms (premium)

Backdraws

gravity forms came with premium version unlike freemium if you're willing to have a look then its not right choice still for future multi project then its worth and all those unique features came with like spam protection, intergations etc are not neglectable.

5. WPForms (Free/premium)

Wpforms is one forms which is every web developer and digital marketer known it because of few things first WPforms lite is completely free and one hundred percent beginners friendly among its users and made by wpbeginner, it didn't have latest features but all essentially are their.

one of the reason is by default available on WordPress directory meanwhile just search and click then install contact form.

Features 

its free version came with basic features like captcha for spam protection, thanks message, email notifications, form fields.

WPforms premium version come with all features and functionality which made users to change layout structure, email subscription, order form  and convert to any type of form according to requirement.

WPforms  premium enable to users  geo location, file upload, user content submission (for guest posting) and campitable to your theme ( as they claim this contact form support 150+ wordpress themes), login and registration features .

WPforms premium can integrate with email marketing of all popular services and they have detailed documentation and guide if you need can contact them regarding same .

Its support also popular payment services like PayPal and stripe and survey and add-on is available for conducting any polls but as they says critical claimed by far best wordpress solution available in this industry.

Backdraws

it's simple but not appealing towards future customers and user of wpform premium if you compare both version then only extra features named as premium which occasionally used.

lacks of Ajax submission features as seen above contact form which can decrease few percentage of leads and ultimately not reach to you.

6. Arforms (Premium)

A perfect example of forms should be Arforms what users want understand better which made them top seller of WordPress contact form plugin on codecanyon and 4.5 of rating and there are ready to use with niether coding or designing experience and floating or pop-up form are available functionality, with Arforms you can make any type of form quizzes form, payment received form, email subscription form etc.

email marketing, multi language upto 12 language supported, ajax  submission and more powerful analytics tool for customer submissions and Arfroms wide range of free and paid add-ons.

Backdraws

Everything great from design to security but one thing could bother to its user that you might need buy few add-on according to website desire but  from price point of view they done works on  beyond without considering what they have to offer.

7. contact form 7 (Completely free)

when making this list cannot forget oldest form in WordPress directory which is absolutely free but not so user friendly and design and appealines towards future clients can be hard to attract and might need some time to adjustment.

Features

Considering all hard work put on to make open source for people by Takayuki Miyoshi still far better than wpform lite and thats point make 5 million + installs contact form 7 and rating of 4 on WordPress directory.

There add-ons are also at least several of them work for contact form 7 fully free but all however ninja form, formable form work great, although developer's  done great job which should be appreciated.

From security views there is CAPTCHA and akismeti spam filter and to make smooth functioning have ajax-powered  submission.

contact form 7 maintened a detailed documentation and FAQ however can't found answer to your then feel free to ask on Support form Which wpforms didn't have.

Backdraws

it's available on WordPress directory so, install is easy but previous few reviews are not so well because those people suffering serious Issue regarding website like completely crashing in every frequent of period and overall works but poor.
