In this Ninja Forms review, we will show all the features we track. Please note that there may be more features in their repertoire, but we had to limit ourselves to those which appear in more than one plugin, or have a substantial value for the average user, which can be the case for some innovative and unique feature.

Of course, we’re always open for your suggestion!

Further, we are curating a hand-picked list of video tutorials and in-depth reviews which we found for this plugin. Again, please send us a message if you believe we missed out on a valuable resource. Maybe one you just wrote? I’d love to hear from you!

Ninja Forms: The Free, the Plans and the Add-ons

You can use Ninja Forms for free on as many sites as you want. But you may find that there is a feature from the paid plans which you really need. In case of Ninja Forms, you can actually purchase just that one feature. This will still be cheaper than purchasing the minimum paid plan, and in our Plugin comparison we have taken this into account.

For example, purchasing the “File Upload” add-on and using it on your otherwise free version of Ninja will be much cheaper than buying the basic Ninja Plan. But if you add a couple of paid features to your selection, this may not be true any more.

This is where WP PluginScout comes in handy: our tool will tell you when it is time to upgrade to another plan. Try it now!
