I was just searching for a contact form last spring and was researching this area.

My Wordpress site is for a non-profit, and I am volunteer, but they were willing to give some cash for it. In the end, I went with Contact7, a free Wordpress Plugin and Flamingo (another plugin) that lets you export the data that people enter into the forms, as an excel file.

My use case was that we wanted to have people register, and we knew we would only have 10 people register, per year! So immediately, paying a fee for this was not really worth it since the volume is not there, and my client said there were happy not paying, and just making the people print a PDF to email back. I said let's just do these as forms.

As for feedback, I echo what some people said about adding what happens to the information once it's submitted, and can it be exported into a friendly CSV. Even for someone like me that only had 10 entries, it was helpful. If you are hitting 100s and 1000s, you definitely want to track all of that.

You should also have a look at the pricing of WPForms (https://wpforms.com/pricing/), which is a paid Wordpress Plugin, obviously with a crazy amount of features, but it's still good to look at them to see how they differentiate.

In addition, is your $15 just for one site, or can I use your service on say, 2 sites if I run 2 (or more). I would add that to the front page.




Good feedback, thanks. I think an export feature is helpful.

I'll be working on making it more clear, but form submissions get forwarded to the email specified on the form. So if you're putting the form on your sales page, you could forward it to sales@your-domain.com. All submissions are also viewable on sandfly.io.

$15/year for unlimited forms and 5,000 submissions, so you can have as many forms on as many sites as you'd like!
