This article takes a look at two popular WordPress form plugins: It compares Formidable Pro with Ninja Forms in order to help you with your decision in choosing one.
There are several other alternatives to Formidable Pro and Ninja Forms on the market which I have compared in separate articles. Go to my main WordPress Form Plugins comparison to start your search.
Please note that this comparison only looks at the features on paper as reported by either plugin’s developers. It does not and can not tell you if or how well a certain feature will work for you. Because such a verdict would depend on too many variables, including your server setup and personal preference, I have decided to stick to the hard facts for this feature comparison between Formidable Pro and Ninja Forms.

Even if many of the features compared above overlap between the two competing products there is one very important difference: Formidable Pro as well as Ninja Forms both provide a unique interface from which you will create beautiful forms on your WordPress blog. Since it is hard to rate the quality of such an interface objectively I recommend that you try both products yourself before deciding for one.
Formidable Pro vs Ninja Forms Price Comparison
WPscoop indexes the exact prixing plans of all compared plugins. Please refer to the table below for a quick overview of the prices of Formidable Pro and Ninja Forms.
To find the cheaper form plugin for your individual needs please go to my main comparison article. There you can search for the features you need and then see the exact price you would need to pay for Formidable Pro or Ninja Forms (as well as other alternatives).
| Price | Formidable Pro | Ninja Forms |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum (1 Site) | 0.00 USD | 0.00 USD |
| Maximum (1 Site) | 47.00 USD | 355.00 USD |
| Minimum (10 Sites) | 0.00 USD | 0.00 USD |
| Maximum (10 Sites) | 117.00 USD | 750.00 USD |
Explanations: The minimum price compared above is the lowest price a product is available for, e.g. the version with the least features. The maximum price listed is for a version of the product that includes all features. For plugins that charge per addon it factors in the cost of all available addons. For some products the price increases if you want to use it on more than 1 WordPress site – the listed price for 10 sites shows if that is the case.
Disclaimer: While we update this comparison regularly we can not guarantee the prices displayed above are still correct and take no responsibility if they changed.
