If you are running a service business of any kind, you need a request a quote page. The easiest way to make one of those? Use a 'get a quote form' plugin in WordPress.
Of course, you'll need a WordPress website. But after that, installing a get quote WordPress plugin is easy!
Selling a product or service? Do you run a WooCommerce store? You just need to know which kind of quote request you need on your site.
So let's answer that question first, then dive into our plugins list.
Is every WordPress quote plugin the same?
There are two major types of quotes:
- Basic quote request
- Instant quote request
Basic quote request
This is a simple quote request where the user tells the service provider they are interested in their service. This quote request form does not need calculated fields to work properly. Essentially, a basic quote request form is a contact form with a few more features.

Instant quote request
If you sell services online with variable costs (like printing, for example), you'll need one of the quote calculator plugins WordPress developers have created. This is sometimes referred to as an add to quote WordPress plugin.

Long story short: consider whether you need your request a quote plugin to perform calculations when choosing your plugin!
The best WordPress get a quote plugins
If you take a look at the WordPress.org plugin directory, you'll find many request a quote WordPress plugins. It can be tough to know which one to choose.
Here's the thing: a request a quote form for your website is just that - a form. So, you'd need something specialized only if you have products, calculations, or integration requirements. For example, a specialized instant quote WordPress plugin will only do one thing. But the best request for quote plugins will give you much flexibility to grow.
Our list focuses on 3 major categories:
- Plugins that can handle any type of custom quote
- Addons that integrate with popular platforms
- Plugins that facilitate the process of sending a quote
As far as basic request a quote features go, here's some key features to look for:
- Add request a quote buttons
- Ability to show or hide prices
- Ability to hide add to cart button
- Cost calculator WordPress plugin features
- Create forms and add custom fields
- Can send email notifications
- Able to provide cost estimations
- Request a quote form templates
- Ability to add multiple products to a quote
- Integrations with popular software (like the WooCommerce plugin)
Each plugin has its own special features too, like allowing customers to accept or reject the quote on-site.
There's really only one choice in this article that can do everything on the above list. So without further ado, let's countdown the top request a quote form plugins WordPress has to offer!
1. Formidable Form Builder
Free and premium (from $79/year)
Rating: 4.7 stars (800+ reviews) | 300,000+ Active Installations
Remember when we said there's only one plugin that can handle whatever quote request forms you need?
It's our WordPress form builder, Formidable Forms (#humblebrag)! Everything about a request for a quote plugin is based on web forms.
So a form builder is a natural choice.
Here's the kicker: a forms plugin can be a total solution for your site.
Here's one reason to use a form builder instead of a quote request plugin. You get to keep all your data in the same place. That means you can set up your contact forms and your quote request forms in the same system.
What's more, Formidable can be used to create a total eCommerce solution using pricing fields. It also integrates with your existing WooCommerce products and extends WooCommerce request functionality. Actually, Formidable Forms could be the only WooCommerce extension you'd ever need.
And if you need to create instant quotes that perform calculations, Formidable Forms can also be used as a full-scale WordPress price calculator plugin.
Yeah, that's right. Formidable Forms does all of that and more right from your WordPress dashboard!
2. Request a Quote
Free and premium (from $149/year)
Rating: 4.9 stars (36 reviews) | 2,000+ Active Installations
If all you need on your site is a page where users can request a quote or more information, then this plugin could do it.
The free version will allow you to create a request form and even stores the data in the plugin on your WordPress site.
This is one of the plugins that does not have the ability to calculate prices in the free version. So you won't be able to use it to create an instant quote, for example.
The pro version provides added spam protection, custom fields, and a form builder. Sadly the free version doesn't include the form builder, so don't expect many customization options. Still, this could work for you totally free if your needs are basic.
3. eCommerce Product Catalog Plugin for WordPress
Free and premium (from $49/year)
Rating: 4.7 stars (217 reviews) | 10,000+ Active Installations
If you are creating a new WordPress site from scratch, this plugin might be worth a look. It's essentially an eCommerce plugin with a heavy bent towards request a quote functionality.
So if you know what kind of online store you are building, this could be a very good choice. This is useful for service providers who also sell products.
For example, maybe you are a designer who also sells printing services. Your users could request a specific quote that combines the variable cost of printing and asks for the price of your design services.
4. Sliced Invoices
Free and premium (from $79/site license)
Rating: 4.6 stars (103 reviews) | 7,000+ Active Installations
The last two plugins on this list are slightly different but could still solve your quote-related problems. Sliced invoices WordPress plugin that gives you a back-end quote-building solution.
In other words, you collect the quote requests with a form, and then you use this plugin to build a quote PDF or page to send to the prospective client. It's a neat idea if your quotes are complicated or time-consuming.
Sliced Invoices give you the power to keep everything inside of WordPress. Keeping all your data in the same place can be helpful as a user goes from a prospect to a paying customer.
5. Request A Quote for WooCommerce
Free and premium (from $69/site year)
Rating: 4.8 stars (60 reviews)
If you are a WooCommerce user, you are probably familiar with the idea of using extensions to add more features to the plugin. In truth, Formidable can do everything this official WooCommerce extension can do. But we can still recommend this one highly for some users looking for a quote for WooCommerce.
But this one might be a good request a quote option if you want a no-setup solution. It has a few basic functions that it does very well with no leg work required on your end. It is very well-reviewed, that's for sure.
The core feature of this plugin: it allows you to hide prices and/or add to cart buttons and let your customers request a custom quote for every product. If you want to keep pricing vague for your customers, this will work (although we aren't sure why you'd want to do that).
6. WP Invoicing (Contact Form 7 Addon)
Free and premium (from $99/year)
Rating: 4.4 stars (25 reviews) | 4,000+ Active Installations
One of the downsides of the Sliced Invoices plugin above is that there is no real mechanism for soliciting requests for a quote. WP Invoicing works in a way that bridges that gap (sort of). W say sort of because it requires several plugins and add-ons to function properly.
For this setup to function, you need a whopping 3 plugins. Luckily, two of them are free. Once you have all of them installed, you'll be able to add a quote request form on your WordPress site to collect requests.
Then, the back end of your site will have a similar offering to Sliced Invoices. You'll be able to create customized quotes for customers, store all your data, turn the quotes into invoices, build pages, PDFs, and more.
7. YITH WooCommerce Request a Quote
Rating: 3.4 stars (55+ reviews) | 20,000+ active installations
YITH makes many different products, and Request a Quote is a great one to have.
Featuring an easy way to show prices, disopay add to cart buttons, and let customers request quotes for anything on your site. A simple quote form leads to more than a purchase, it leads to a relationship.
And YITH is here to help you.

I have a customer who is wanting a calculator plug-in for his still to be built website that gives the estimated prices of scrap cars.
For example -
Enter registration number
Enter postcode
Press Get Valuation button and a price is given.
I would appreciate it if you can advise if this can be done as a plug-in please.
Hi Craig,
It sounds like this would take some custom work to integrate with an API that has the valuation numbers you would need. Or, if you could import all the data on your own site, that could be used for getting the valuation without any custom code needed.
Formidable Forms is the most advanced WordPress form builder on the market. Doesnt matter if you were a beginner or expert because it is easy to use and to integrate!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Formidable Forms seems to have covered all the bases with a flexible product and add-ons that enabled our non-profit organization to receive and keep track of donations, sell products, and accept membership applications online. The support has been very good. We use Formidable Forms Pro, Pro2PDF, Forms Registration, and Visual Views (which title seems redundant).
I am a designer, not a coder, and the format for Formidable's backend is very user-friendly.
Highly recommend Formidable Forms.
Thanks so much for the kind words. So glad to hear that our plugin has enabled you to do so much with your site.
I used Formidable Forms years ago at a non-profit to build a scoresheet for a competition we were holding. It streamlined our process from the antiquated "pen and paper" system to a process that saves us HOURS.
Now, as a freelance web designer, it is the only form plugin that I trust because it can do everything from simple contact forms to quizzes.
Thanks so much for the kind words! glad to hear you are enjoying the plugin. We always love to collect 5 star reviews on our WordPress.org page if you are interested in sharing your feedback there as well.
There isn't much that Formidable Forms can't do. It's far more than just a form tool.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I tend to recommend Formidable Pro on social quite a lot, this is just more reason to do so.
