If you hate feature bloat that’s characteristic of most custom registration plugins or are in the market looking for a lightweight user registration plugin that does exactly what you need done, we introduce you to Profile Builder by CozmosLabs, ReflectionMedia and 5 other developers.

The plugin enhances user registration on your site by adding custom functionality for users. Using shortcodes, users can easily register on your site and modify their profiles. As an administrator, you can add or customize custom user fields, set password strength, send email confirmations automatically and so on.

Profile Builder is incredibly simple to use because – shortcodes. With a few clicks, you grant users front-end access to their profiles, display user login forms wherever, and provide logout and password recovery functionalities among other things.

The plugin comes with a premium version that carries most of the best features including extra user fields, avatars, WooCommerce, MailPoet, Campaign Monitor and MailChimp support, custom redirects, support for conditional fields, reCAPTCHA and 1 year of updates and priority support among others.

Profile Builder has over 40k active installs and an impeccable rating of 4.6/5.0. The Pro version costs between $69 and $149 bucks a year. You get 40% off every year you auto renew.

Did you know WordPress powers over 26% of the internet? This means there are millions of WordPress websites out there. In other words, the competition is stiff. So how do you ensure your website stands out from the horde as far as user registration goes?

While most WordPress admins will user the default user registration form that has two fields, you can do better with a custom registration plugin such as Cimy User Extra Fields. From this title, you can almost guess what this plugin does.

Unlike most custom registration plugins, Cimy focuses entirely on the user’s point of entry; your registration forms. By adding more fields to your user registration forms, you can collect more information and learn more about your users.

This plugin ships with extra fields including text, text area, rich text area, checkbox, radio, file attachment, avatar, picture, picture URL, drop-down and registration date among other things. Further, you can enable WordPress hidden fields such as website, nickname, bio and much more on your registration forms.

The plugin has an average rating of 3.2/5.0 and over 20k active installs. We could not find a premium version.

Last but not least is Caldera Forms, a robust form building plugin that offers more features than you’ll ever need. Still, this bad boy cannot rival Registration Magic as far handling user registrations go. All the same, Caldera Forms is a top contender among custom registration plugins.

With over 60k active installs and a sterling rating of 4.7/5.0, Caldera Forms is indeed the choice form builder for a great number of people. But why is Caldera Forms so awesome? You ask. To that, the developer says:

Urrm, okay. What about the features? Caldera Forms boasts of a slew of amazing features including a drag and drop visual form builder that allows you to create forms out of this world, built-in spam protection, a responsive design, email notifications, multiple form templates, 19 custom form fields, conditional logic and much more.

Caldera Forms is a free plugin, but you can choose from over 30 premium addons if you need more from your registration forms.

Personally, I will choose Registration Magic any day without batting an eyelid. The overwhelming number of features and the great price won me over. Feel free to download the free version and take it for a test drive. Subscribe to our newsletter below and never miss a blog post!
