A La Carte Add-ons
Ninja Forms is unique to other form builders in terms of pricing. We offer add-ons that can be purchased outside of a membership whereas our competitors like, WP Forms, Gravity Forms or Formidable Forms do not. This provides you with the flexibility to purchase what you need without signing up for a membership.
Each add-on can be purchased in one of three ways:
- Single-Site licenseĀ
- 5-Site licenseĀ
- 20-Site licenseĀ
The license you purchase will determine how many WordPress websites you can use the add-on for. The single-site license allows one install to be activated, five-site allows up to five, and the twenty-site allows up to twenty.
Upgrading Individual Add-ons
To upgrade from a single-site license to a 5-site or 20-site license, head over to your Ninja Forms account, click “View Licenses” then “View Upgrades“. This will bring up a list of all your licenses as well as your upgrade options.
Memberships
All add-ons purchased individually or within a membership come with priority support.
