Reviews
Jotform
Jotform is an easy-to-use form builder that packs in tons of features and thousands of templates – great whether you’re a beginner or more advanced user. You can accept a limited number of payments on the free plan, making Jotform ideal if you want to try out accepting payments via forms without having to subscribe. If you’re a business user, you’ll probably need to upgrade,...
Cognito Forms
Cognito Forms is one of the best online form builders I’ve tested, and its interface is really easy to use. With over 100 templates and support for data encryption, this intuitive form builder can cater to all your form-building needs – and you can accept payments even on the free plan!
Bluebird Hosting
I’m always a little dubious when I see a host offering managed WordPress hosting at rock-bottom prices, but when I put Bluebird Hosting to the test, I was pretty impressed. Yes, there were a couple of teething problems at first (although nothing to do with the actual hosting), and the amount of storage you get on the Starter WordPress plan is downright ludicrous, but for...
NinjaForms
Ninja Forms is a flexible WordPress form builder that you can extend with add-ons for email marketing, CRM, and payment processing. It has a refreshingly clean interface that is easy to use if you’re a beginner but also offers advanced tools for developers, too. It’s free to download and install, and paid plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
HostUpon
HostUpon’s performance is good, and I was impressed with most of its features. However, I’m not a fan of having to pay extra for features that should be included by default, like SSL and backups. If you’re looking for a hosting service that can provide great performance, I’d recommend you check out Hostinger’s cheap plans, which already include everything you need.
Formstack
If you’re a complete beginner to form building, you’ll be glad to know Formstack has the most extensive set of in-builder help features I’ve come across. In other areas, however, there’s little to make Formstack stand out. It doesn’t have a free plan, and a lot of the advanced features require a higher-tier plan. It’s a capable and easy-to-use form builder – but there are...
SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey features dozens of pre-designed templates for all kinds of surveys. Although it offers a free plan, to get the most out of SurveyMonkey, you’ll need to sign up for a paid plan. If you need to conduct a lot of in-depth market research, SurveyMonkey could be perfect for you.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is an excellent WordPress plugin for creating an online store, but it’s not the most beginner-friendly. Read our review to find out if it’s right for you.
LetsHost
When I started testing LetsHost, my hopes weren’t particularly high. I’m not going to pretend it’s got a lot of standout features, and it doesn’t have the best performance.
HubSpot Form Builder
HubSpot’s form builder is one of the easiest to work with – but its narrow focus on marketing means that it is quite limited. If you’re looking for a tool that offers step-by-step form building and will help you manage your customer lists, then HubSpot is a good, risk-free option, thanks to its free plan. If you need more than that, read on to find out which alternatives I...
eUKhost
eUKhost claims to be the “No. 1 independent solutions experts” – but is that claim true (and what does it even mean)? My thorough testing of all eUKhost’s web hosting features uncovered the power of its WordPress toolkit.
Wufoo
Wufoo is a form builder that comes packed with features to help you create a wide range of forms for your business. It has a huge selection of templates, but a large number of these are surveys, and not all will work with the free plan. While it’s relatively simple to use, Wufoo isn’t really designed for complete beginners, which, in that case, I recommend Cognito Forms. Read...
Formidable Forms
Formidable Forms is one of the most advanced WordPress form builders I’ve come across. It has forms to help you automate quotes, estimates, and payment plan calculations – but for the average user, those features aren’t really necessary. It does have a free version, but it’s incredibly limited. Read on to find out which alternatives I recommend.
Google Forms
Google Forms is a free, very capable form builder that can handle conditional logic, multiple sections, and a range of question types. It won’t be right for everyone, but if your needs aren’t too complex, then it could be the form builder you’ve been looking for. If you need a more serious tool, read on for my recommendations.
WS Form
WS Form is one of the newer form builders for WordPress, and it’s really beginner-friendly. The free plugin has a great set of features – but for e-commerce forms and a larger selection of form fields, you have to upgrade to a Pro plan. Excellent customization tools make WS Form strong competition for some of the giants in WordPress form builders.

SiteGround vs HostGator – Which Web Host Is Best for WordPress?

SiteGround vs DreamHost – Who’s More Reliable in 2024?
At first glance, it looks like DreamHost offers better prices than SiteGround, but don’t be fooled. To get DreamHost’s discounted rates, you have to pay in advance for a full three years of hosting. That’s only one of the reasons I prefer SiteGround over DreamHost. After rigorously testing both hosts, I found SiteGround to be the better choice in terms of performance,...
