8 Best Floating Button WordPress Plugins

A floating button WordPress plugin adds a fixed, clickable button that stays visible while visitors scroll. Once clicked, it can open a contact form, launch chat support, share a link, or trigger a custom action, so the thing you want visitors to do is always one tap away.

For chat and contact channels, Chaty and Buttonizer lead the category. For a floating CTA, ConvertForce is the closest fit. Simple Floating Menu is the strongest option if you want something entirely free.

We checked all eight plugins below against their WordPress.org listings and current vendor pricing in July 2026, because most roundups on this topic are quoting prices that changed a year ago. Here’s how they compare, including what each free version actually gives you.

How To Choose A Floating Button WordPress Plugin

Positioning, hover animations, and color customization are table stakes. Every plugin in this list handles all three. These six things are where they actually differ, and they are what the comparison table above is built around.

What The Free Version Actually Includes

“Has a free version” hides a lot of variation. Buttonizer’s free plan stops serving your buttons after 5,000 pageviews a month. Floating Button keeps social sharing behind Pro. Sticky Buttons gates anchor links and forced downloads. Simple Floating Menu, at the other extreme, has no Pro version to upgrade to at all. Check what the free tier includes before you build your contact strategy on top of it.

What The Button Can Actually Do

A plain link, a WhatsApp click to chat, a popup, and a file download are four different features, and no plugin here does all four well. Chaty supports 25 chat channels. Floating Action Button offers nine fixed button types with no custom URL field, so you cannot point it at an arbitrary page on your site. Match the action list to the thing you actually want visitors to do.

Display And Targeting Rules

Showing one button on every page is easy. Showing a different button on your pricing page, only on mobile, only after a visitor scrolls halfway down, is where these plugins separate. It is also, in most cases, the feature that sits behind the Pro upgrade.

Mobile Behaviour

Most floating button clicks come from phones, which is also where a floating button is most likely to cover your sticky cart, your cookie notice, or the last line of the paragraph someone is reading. Check whether you can set a different position and size per device, or hide the button on mobile entirely.

Click Tracking

Buttonizer and Chaty Pro report how many people clicked. Most of the others report nothing at all. If you intend to test which call to action works, you need those numbers from the start.

One Time Payment Or Subscription

Floating Button and Sticky Buttons sell lifetime licences at $20 and $25. Buttonizer bills monthly and meters your pageviews as your traffic grows. Across three years, those are very different totals.

Best Floating Button WordPress Plugins

You’ll find about a dozen dedicated plugins for creating floating buttons. Below are the eight best, each with its key features, pros and cons, and current pricing, so you can pick the right one without installing all of them first.

1. Buttonizer

Buttonizer is the most capable floating button plugin on this list, and the most commercially structured. It creates single buttons or expandable floating menus that can open a contact form, start a WhatsApp conversation, link to social profiles, or fire a custom action. With over 70,000 active installs and a 4.4 star rating, it is also the most battle tested option here after Chaty.

The thing to understand before you install it: Buttonizer runs through its own hosted platform. You build buttons in a front-end visual editor, but the configuration lives in your Buttonizer account rather than only in your database, and usage is metered by pageviews. That buys you cross-platform support and real analytics. It also means an external dependency and a monthly bill that scales with your traffic, which is the opposite trade-off from most plugins in this roundup.

Key features of Buttonizer

40+ Click Actions and Messaging Channels: Buttonizer integrates WhatsApp (Business and standard), Facebook Messenger, Telegram, SMS, Call, Email, and many social sharing buttons like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

Smart Visual Editor: With Buttonizer’s WYSIWYG front-end editor, you can set up buttons within seconds. The drag-and-drop interface allows effortless button positioning, styling, and real-time previews.

Advanced Display Rules: You can define when and where your buttons appear based on device type, page URL, user role, time of day, scroll depth, and even language (WPML support).

Floating Popups and Contact Forms: It integrates floating contact forms and popups using plugins like Elementor, WP Popups, Popup Maker, or Poptin. After that, you can configure trigger options for the popups.

Built-In Analytics: It offers a comprehensive analytics dashboard where you can check the number of clicks, leads, and conversions made from each button.

Pricing of Buttonizer

Buttonizer has a free version, but it is capped at 5,000 pageviews per month, which is the detail most roundups leave out. Paid plans are metered too: $10/month for Growth (50,000 pageviews), $18/month for Expert (unlimited pageviews), and $29/month for Agency (unlimited sites). Buttonizer offers a 14-day free trial rather than a refund window.

2. Chaty

Chaty is the most widely used plugin on this list by a wide margin, with over 400,000 active installs and a 5 star average across more than 1,200 reviews. It is built for one job specifically: letting visitors reach you through whichever messaging app they already use. Click the floating icon and it expands into WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Instagram Direct, Viber, SMS, phone, email, and around 25 channels in total.

Worth knowing before you compare prices: Chaty exists as two separate products. This section covers the WordPress plugin from Premio, which is licensed per site. There is also a hosted version at chaty.app that runs on any platform and is billed by monthly visitors. Most roundups quote figures from one and label them as the other, so check which product a price refers to before you budget for it.

Key features of Chaty

Supports 25 Chat Channels: Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, Slack, Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, LINE, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WeChat, and more. You can reorder them and set which appear on mobile versus desktop.

Multi-Agent Support: Add several agents to a single channel so visitors reach the right person, useful for splitting sales from support or covering multiple languages. This is a Pro feature.

Contact Form Integration: Chaty can show a native contact form inside the chat widget, so when no agent is online you still capture the query and reply later instead of losing the visitor.

Advanced Triggers and Scheduling: Control when the widget appears, whether after a scroll, a time delay, or exit intent. Paid plans add scheduling by day and hour, plus targeting by country and traffic source, so the button only shows when someone is actually available to answer.

Attention-Grabbing Effects: Shake, glow, and slide-in animations to pull the eye toward the button without redesigning anything.

WooCommerce Personalisation: On paid plans, the chat popup can pull in merge tags including WooCommerce product names, so the message a shopper sees on a product page references that product. Handy for cart recovery conversations.

Pricing of Chaty

Chaty has a free version with unlimited channels. The plugin’s WordPress.org listing currently puts Pro at $59/year for a single site, with higher tiers for 5 sites and agency use, plus 2-year and lifetime options. Premio offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

3. ConvertForce

ConvertForce reaches the floating button from a different direction than everything else on this list. There’s no icon picker and no preset channel library. Instead you build a slide-in campaign in the WordPress block editor, using the same blocks you already use for posts and pages, then pin it to a corner of the screen. Anything you can design as a block becomes your floating button: a text CTA, an image, a button with an icon, or a small card with a heading and a link.

That makes it the wrong choice if you want a stack of eight chat icons, and the right choice if you want one high-intent floating CTA that matches your brand exactly. Because the campaign is real block content, you inherit your theme’s fonts, colours, spacing, and responsive controls instead of fighting a separate styling panel. ConvertForce also handles notification bars and lightbox popups from the same screen, so your floating button doesn’t need a plugin of its own. It’s the newest plugin here, with the smallest install base to match.

Key features of ConvertForce

Built With Core Blocks: Design the button with any core block, including Button, Image, Group, and Heading. No shortcodes, no separate design panel, no page builder required.

Three Campaign Types: Slide-in for floating buttons and corner CTAs, notification bar for top or bottom announcements, and lightbox for full popups. One plugin covering three jobs.

Position and Sticky Controls: Set the corner, offsets, width, background, and animation per campaign, with separate settings per device so a button that works on desktop doesn’t cover anything on mobile.

Display Conditions: Choose exactly which pages, posts, and templates a campaign appears on. More granular targeting rules are a Pro feature.

Exit Intent and Scroll Depth Triggers: Show the button when a visitor is about to leave, or after they’ve read a set percentage of the page. Both are Pro features.

No Tracking, Fully Self-Hosted: Dismissal and frequency state lives in the visitor’s browser. Nothing is sent to an external server, no third-party scripts load, there’s no account to create, and no pageview meter to hit.

Pricing of ConvertForce

ConvertForce is free on WordPress.org with no pageview or campaign limits. Pro starts at $24.50 per year, with lifetime licences available and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

4. Sticky Buttons

Sticky Buttons builds floating button bars that sit against an edge of the screen, which makes it the closest thing here to app-style navigation. Around 10,000 sites use it. It comes from Wow-Company, the same developer behind Floating Button further down this list, so if you’re weighing those two you’re choosing between two products from one team rather than two independent options.

The free version covers the basics: unlimited buttons, icons, shapes, and placement. Most of the behaviour sits in Pro, including animations, scroll-based visibility, smooth scrolling to anchors, forced downloads, social sharing, and user role controls. Its 3.7 star rating is the lowest on this list, though that’s across only six reviews, so treat it as thin data rather than a verdict.

Key features of Sticky Buttons

Unlimited Sticky Buttons: Add as many floating buttons as you need for navigation or promoting key actions, with no cap on the free version.

Full Font Awesome Library: The plugin ships with Font Awesome 7.1, so you have several thousand icons to pick from for buttons and labels.

Multiple Button Shapes: Four shape types, circle, square, rounded, and pill, so the bar can match the rest of your interface.

Flexible Button Placement: Position the bar top, bottom, left, or right, with spacing controls to keep it clear of your other fixed elements.

Link Types: The free version handles internal and external links. Anchor links with smooth scrolling and forced file downloads are Pro features, which is worth knowing if either is the reason you’re installing it.

Pricing of Sticky Buttons

Sticky Buttons is free to use. Pro is a one-time payment of $25 for a single site, $49 for 5 sites, or $89 for 20 sites, all lifetime licences. Wow-Company offers a 14-day money-back guarantee.

5. Floating Button

Floating Button is the other Wow-Company plugin on this list, and the simpler of the two. You get one main button that expands into a submenu of icon items, each pointing at a link, an email address, a phone number, or a WordPress account action like login or register. Setup takes a few minutes. Around 4,000 sites run it.

Two things to weigh before you pick it. Its 3.0 star rating is the lowest here, and the recurring theme in the negative reviews is that the free version feels thin once you start building something real. On the other hand, the plugin is actively maintained, with a release in the last few weeks, and Pro is a one-time $20 rather than a subscription. If the submenu pattern is what you want and $20 is acceptable, that’s a reasonable trade.

Key features of Floating Button

2,000+ Font Awesome Icons: Pick an icon for the main button and each submenu item so the menu reads at a glance rather than needing labels.

Add Tooltips: Attach a tooltip to any button to explain what it does on hover, useful when you’re relying on icons alone.

Button Types: Link, email, phone, login, logout, register, and lost password, plus two submenu types. That covers contact and account actions without any custom code.

User Role Control: Show or hide buttons by user role, so admins, subscribers, and logged-out visitors can each see a different set.

Shortcode Support: Place buttons anywhere with a shortcode, which means it works in the block editor and in page builders equally well.

Pricing of Floating Button

Floating Button is free to use. Pro is a one-time payment of $20 for a single site, $39 for 5 sites, or $79 for 20 sites, all lifetime licences with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

6. Simple Floating Menu

Simple Floating Menu is the pick if you want a sticky icon menu with no upgrade path dangling in front of you. Around 10,000 sites run it, and it holds a 5 star average across 38 reviews, which is the best rating-to-volume ratio here after Chaty. Everything the plugin does is in the free version, because there is no Pro version to withhold anything for.

You get unlimited menu buttons, 8 screen positions with offset controls, 9 button shapes, and 5 icon packs to pick from. Height, width, icon size, spacing, colours, shadows, and tooltip typography are all adjustable, and you can export your settings and import them on another site, which is a genuinely useful touch if you build a lot of sites. The trade-off for having no paid tier is that development moves slowly: the last release was December 2025.

Key features of Simple Floating Menu

Unlimited Menu Items: Add and manage as many floating menu buttons as you want, with no cap and no upgrade prompt.

9 Button Shapes: Pick the shape that matches your design, from circle through to squared and rounded variants.

8 Screen Positions: Place the menu anywhere along the edges of the viewport, with offset controls for fine alignment.

5 Icon Packs: Several thousand icons across five libraries, so you’re not limited to Font Awesome alone.

Customise Buttons and Tooltips: Adjust height, width, icon size, spacing, colours, and shadows on the buttons, then style tooltip text separately with its own font, size, and colour.

Export and Import Settings: Move a configured menu between sites as a settings file instead of rebuilding it by hand.

Pricing of Simple Floating Menu

Simple Floating Menu is completely free with no paid tier. The same developer sells a separate, more advanced plugin on CodeCanyon called Super Floating & Flying Menu, priced as a one-time purchase. Check the current CodeCanyon listing for the exact figure, since Envato pricing and the included support period both change.

7. Floating Awesome Button

Floating Awesome Button, or FAB, tries to be more than a button plugin. Alongside floating contact buttons it does popups, toast notifications, reading progress bars, back-to-top controls, and a set of WooCommerce-specific actions, all from one interface. That breadth is its argument: if you were about to install a button plugin and a popup plugin and a scroll-progress plugin, this replaces three.

It’s also the smallest plugin here at around 800 active installs, with a 5 star average from only five reviews. The last release was December 2025. So you’re trading install-base confidence and update cadence for a feature set that’s genuinely wider than anything else on this list at this price. Whether that’s a good trade depends entirely on how many of those extra features you’d actually use.

Key features of Floating Awesome Button

Contact Integration: Add WhatsApp, email, phone, and SMS actions to floating buttons so visitors can reach you through whichever they prefer.

Social Sharing: Share buttons for the major platforms, letting readers push your content out without a separate sharing plugin.

Enhanced Navigation: Back-to-top, scroll-to-top, sticky menus, and reading progress bars, which is unusual to find bundled with a button plugin.

Popup Templates: Ready-made templates for contact forms, ebook promotions, subscription offers, and discount popups, so you’re editing a starting point rather than building from scratch.

WooCommerce Actions: Product and cart-aware buttons, the deepest WooCommerce support of any plugin in this roundup.

Timed and Scheduled Triggers: Pro adds auto-trigger time delays plus schedule filters by date, day, month, time, and year, so a promotional button can run for a fixed window and switch itself off.

Pricing of Floating Awesome Button

FAB has a free version with unlimited buttons. A Pro tier is available from the developer. Confirm the current figure on the developer’s site before publishing, since I couldn’t verify the $49.99/year you had on file.

5. Floating Action Button

Floating Action Button is the minimal option. One main button in a corner that expands on click or hover into a row of up to nine sub-buttons, each customisable for icon, title, content, and colours. There’s no paid tier, no account, and nothing to configure beyond the buttons themselves. Around 1,000 sites use it.

Be clear about the trade-off, though. The last release was around July 2025, and it’s only tested up to WordPress 6.8.6, several versions behind current. More importantly, there’s no generic link button type: the nine types cover messaging apps, phone, email, and a text block, so you can’t point a button at your own pricing page. If your floating button needs to link somewhere on your site, this isn’t the plugin, and that limitation matters more than any missing analytics dashboard.

Key features of the Floating Action Button

Nine Button Types: WhatsApp, Messenger, Phone, Email, Viber, Snapchat, LINE, Intercom, and a Text button.

Sub-Button Configuration: Add up to nine sub-buttons, each with its own title, content, icon, text colour, and background colour.

Drag-and-Drop Sorting: Reorder sub-buttons by dragging, and remove any you don’t need with a click.

Corner Positioning: Place the main button in any of the four corners to suit your layout.

Click or Hover Trigger: Choose whether the sub-buttons reveal on click or on hover.

Pricing of the Floating Action Button

Floating Action Button is completely free. There is no premium version.

Closing Up!

Floating buttons aren’t just a visual element. They are a must-have element today in most modern websites. Besides new generations like Gen-Z and Alpha love to engage more with those websites that design their web posts and pages with interactive elements.

So, if you really want traffic and users to complete some actions instantly after they land on your site, you must consider doing it with a floating button. If you have any other way to do this, that’s great. Otherwise, adding a floating button could be the right option.
