Fluent Forms (LTD, 2nd place in The WP Awards 2023)

All-in-one | LTD | Freemium | Favorite

https://wordpress.org/plugins/fluentform/ – Free

https://fluentforms.com/ – Pro

Fluent Forms is one of the few legitimate all-in-one form plugins. I use it almost on all of my sites. The free version is incredibly feature-rich, and the interface is the most intuitive and user-friendly one I’ve come across.

With a drag-and-drop form builder, you can easily create contact forms, quizzes, surveys, or any other form you need without any code.

Fluent Forms offers advanced conditional logic. It allows users to create smart forms that adjust dynamically based on user responses.

Cool Feature: 

There are not many mature all-in-one form builders that offer an LTD (lifetime deal). Fluent Forms is one of them.

Smart Quiz Builder (LTD, 3d place in The WP Awards 2023)

Dedicated | Paid | LTD | Favorite 

https://smartquizbuilder.com

You know how every quiz plugin developer claims that their plugin is the best and has all the cool features?  Well, Smart Quiz Builder actually lives up to that hype! 

I am absolutely in love with it and it has become my favorite Quiz plugin by far!

With Smart Quiz Builder, you can do pretty much anything you want. I’m talking about creating all sorts of quizzes, polls, surveys, and even conversational forms. You name it, this plugin has got it covered! 

And get this – you can even build a quiz funnel using their AI-powered quiz builder!

You can generate a PDF report with the quiz outcome. So not only can you give your users instant feedback on their quiz results, but they can also download a fancy PDF report summarizing their performance.

All in all, if you’re on the hunt for a quiz plugin that’s super versatile and user-friendly, Smart Quiz Builder is the way to go. It won’t disappoint. 

Give it a shot and see for yourself!

Cool Feature:

Visual Quiz Funnel Builder with conditional logic –  You  can create a quiz funnel builder using conditional logic so easy that you forget you’re doing logic. In conditional logic your next question depends on the answer to the previous one. So you will never ask your clients why they love your product if they’ve already answered that they hate it.

Missing Feature:

I absolutely love this plugin and highly recommend it. However, there are a few things you should know about. 

  • It doesn’t come with spam protection features like reCAPTCHA, double opt-in confirmation, and honeypot.  However, it’s not probably a big deal because bots have a hard time navigating through dynamic formats.
  •  It doesn’t have any payment gateways like PayPal or Stripe. If you want to monetize your quizzes, you’ll need a cart plugin.

Quill Forms – conversational forms (nominated in The WP Awards 2023)

Dedicated | Freemium | Favorite 

https://wordpress.org/plugins/quillforms/ – Free

https://quillforms.com/ – Paid

Quill Forms is a cool WordPress plugin that is a great cost-effective alternative to Typeform. You know how Typeform has that conversational style? Well, Quill Forms does the same thing. Instead of overwhelming you with a whole form at once, it presents questions one by one, making things super easy and improving conversion rates.

It’s perfect for creating all kinds of forms like surveys, quizzes, and cost estimations in conversational format. 

If you are looking for a dedicated conversational form plugin, give Quill Forms a shot. 

P.S.

In early 2024, they launched Quill Forms Studio, a cloud-based SaaS platform. With two powerful versions now available – WordPress and SAAS – you have unparalleled flexibility. No longer constrained by the need for a domain to use it or share it.

Cool Features:

Quill Forms integrates smoothly with tons of CRMs and ESPs (Email Service Providers), and popular payment gateways like PayPal and Stripe. So you can connect your quiz forms with other online tools and monetize it hassle-free.

Gravity Forms (1st place in The WP Awards 2023)

All-in-one | Paid | Favorite

https://www.gravityforms.com/ – Pro

The plugin is designed with developers in mind. There are many developer hooks and custom functions available to coders. The flexibility provided by these tools allows for a great deal of customization. 

I must also say, this plugin is great for beginners. Its UX/UI is exceptional, and the functionality is quite advanced. The plugin’s only drawback is that there is no free version.

Cool Feature:

Gravity From offers a lot of add-ons and integration, expanding its functionality. This makes it a powerful option for complex form needs.

On top of this, there are extra 47 plugins, powered by Gravity Wiz, that add new features for Gravity Forms.

Bit Form (LTD, 6th place in The WP Awards 2023)

weForms

All-in-one | Freemium | Not Favorite

https://wordpress.org/plugins/weforms/ – Free

https://weformspro.com/ – Pro

weForms is a good WordPress form plugin that allows you to effortlessly create forms for your website. Unlike other plugins, weForms focuses on simplicity, offering fewer integrations and features than other all-in-one forms. 

What I don’t like is that the prices lack transparency. The sales page doesn’t clearly show whether it’s a one-time payment or yearly charges. However, upon clicking the Buy button, you discover that it’s actually a recurring payment, and the price goes up in the second year.

Cool Feature:

Sometimes, simplicity is the key to efficiency. If you need a speedy and straightforward form plugin, give weForms a shot.

General note about all plugins sold on Codecanyon (Envato):

CodeCanyon is an online marketplace where developers sell their codes, scripts, and WordPress plugins. CodeCanyon takes high commissions and imposes hard exclusivity rules on developers. As a result, it’s often a one-man show rather than a reliable company supporting a plugin. 

My experience with CodeCanyon was not good. The quality of the two plugins I purchased was poor. The support was lacking. Finally, both plugins ceased to exist. 

Conclusion:

If you’re a developer, you may know how to deal with CodeCanyon. For non-developers, like myself, it’s better to rely on plugins created by stable companies for end-users.

https://thrivethemes.com/quizbuilder

I used to be a big fan of Thrive Suite. It includes a WordPress theme and several plugins (including form and quiz plugins) that help convert site visitors into leads and clients. 

The form plugin, called Thrive Leads, and the Quiz Builder plugin can also be purchased separately. However, I believe that using the separate plugins doesn’t fully unlock the potential of Thrive. Ultimately, you’ll want Thrive Suite. 

What are the pitfalls? 

Integration is not its strongest feature of the Thrive Suite. If you stick within their ecosystem, you are set. I know many users who are happy with Thrive Suite. However, if you need additional features, it could be an issue.

Cool Features:

With the Thrive Leads plugin, you can build an evergreen campaign for your website.
