WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems available with nearly 75 million websites. What’s great about this open source software is that it offers well over 53,000 different plugins that gives users the opportunity to extend the functionality of their websites. These plugins can range anywhere from SEO tools and Landing pages to Social media integration and Caching tools. However, there are also several notable user feedback plugins that are great for kickstarting your customer feedback programme.
User feedback plugins are ideal for WordPress users who are looking to get feedback forms up and running on their website in a matter of seconds. The thing is, if you’ve ever searched for ‘user feedback’ in the plugin library, you’re probably well aware of the fact that almost 100 pages in search results come up – which to be honest – doesn’t necessarily make it easy when trying to choose one.
To help you out, we made an (updated) selection of the top 10 user feedback plugins for WordPress, which can all be found in the plugin library on the WordPress website.
Here they are…
1. Mopinion
Mopinion is a free feedback form plugin which enables users to capture suggestions, bugs and compliments, and collect visual feedback (screenshots) on individual page elements. This is all possible when your visitor clicks on the feedback button that is visual on your website. The feedback form is completely customisable, meaning users can change or add feedback questions, add their own design or logo, choose their own language and set up triggers for actions such as exit intent.
Once feedback is collected, it will be immediately available on a personal Mopinion account that is created upon downloading the plugin. Alternatively, users can receive feedback alerts straight in their email inbox.

The best way to learn more about how your customers experience your website is to ask them. All of these user feedback plugins make that possible, but how do you which one is best for your website?
You’ll need to take a few factors into consideration. Factors such as customisation capabilities, trigger options, analysis and reporting, and of course, the level of technical knowledge required to get your plugin up and running.
