Contact Form 7
This one is a well-known free plugin in this niche, and I’m pretty sure that you had heard about it. It’s available officially on WordPress.org store and already been downloaded millions of times. It comes with simple to use tool to reach our requirements along with additional features like CAPTCHA and Akismet (to control spam) and even supports file attachments. Another iconic feature out there is that it can integrate with dozens of other plugins with ease.

- It is great for creating a basic contact form for your blog.
Cons:
- Contact Form 7 can be a bit difficult to set up for absolute beginners. The user interface is not very intuitive.
- Since it is a free plugin, support options are limited.
- There are several third-party add-ons available for Contact Form 7, but the official plugin website doesn’t have an add-ons directory which makes it difficult to find add-ons to extend the functionality of the base plugin.
Ninja Forms
Ninja Forms is a freemium contact form plugin for WordPress. It can be used to create highly interactive form with very little effort.
