Contact forms and form-related add-ons
Form-related tags make up the largest visible cluster, while several leading names point to specialized form-adjacent use cases.
- Tag overlap: The form tag appears on 127 plugins in this category, and contact-form on 106.
- Confirmation and storage clues: Contact Form 7 add confirm, Confirm Plus Contact Form 7, and Database for Contact Form 7 have names that suggest confirmation or form-data storage. These are name-based clues, not confirmation of specific features.
- Email and Elementor clues: Contact Form Email and Awesome Contact Form7 for Elementor have names indicating email or an Elementor connection; the names alone do not confirm what either plugin provides.
Other contact channels and display formats
The category also includes listings associated with messaging channels and ways to display contact options.
The related tags include WhatsApp on 40 plugins, chat on 39, widget on 25, feedback on 24, and floating-button on 14. These groupings show that contact-related listings extend beyond form labels.
Names such as Sticky Side Buttons and Rich Contact Widget point to button and widget formats, while Front End PM adds another distinct naming pattern among the leading listings.
A fragmented category with uneven maintenance
Install counts are concentrated in very few listings, and update histories vary substantially across the visible leaders.
The category has 330 plugins, but just 1 has at least 100,000 installs and 4 have at least 10,000. Flamingo, with 800,000 installs, is the clear outlier by adoption; overall, 32% of category plugins were updated in the last year.
Update ages among leading listings range from updated this month for WPZOOM Forms, Contact Form Email, Database for Contact Form 7, and Front End PM to 105 months for Contact Form 7 add confirm and 108 months for Rich Contact Widget. Review signals also vary: some listings have excellent ratings with few reviews, while others have good ratings with a moderate number. Together, these figures make install counts, update recency, and review volume useful separate signals to weigh when comparing options.
