WordPress classic

Great contribution to community just like Flamingo.
Gets the job done, nothing more
By Wayne Baker (waynebaker) on August 26, 2025
It’s fine for basic use, but don’t expect advanced features. The plugin feels a bit plain, though it remains dependable for simple contact needs.

Simple, Reliable, and Perfect for Custom Forms
By Rahul Tank (rahultank) on August 12, 2025
Contact Form 7 is simple yet powerful. It’s lightweight, works well with most themes, and gives full control over form fields through short codes. Great for basic contact forms without heavy overhead. However, styling requires a bit of custom CSS, and advanced features may need extra plugins. Overall, a reliable choice for anyone who wants a free, no-frills form solution.
Absolutely love the contact form 7
By hurtadodoo on August 10, 2025
Absolutely love the contact form plugin works perfectly out of the box, easy to customize, and looks good on all devices. The spam protection is also surprisingly effective.
Good Customizable Forms Generator

This plugin is very useful to create customizable forms in the website.
Very useful and easy to set up
By Praagna L Vaishnavi (praagnavaishnavi) on August 6, 2025
I used this plugin for my personal site. Setup was smooth, and it works perfectly. Highly recommended!
Using for a decade without issue
By rawhasan on July 23, 2025
Excellent plugin! Using for a decade in all of my sites without issue.
The only time I was upset with this plugin was when the reCAPTCHA v2 support was removed. Fixed that by installing another plugin to add reCAPTCHA v2. I am not sure if the reCAPTCHA was doing any help, as I continued to receive spam submissions (likely manually submitted). I have now removed reCAPTCHA completely and replaced it with the CloudFlare Turnstile, which has built-in support in CF7 and appears to be working perfectly so far.
Thanks for developing and maintaining such a great plugin and keeping it free!
Kudos!
No support
By sruthilimenzy on July 17, 2025
I have been using this plugin for years, but I’ve encountered an issue with receiving a 429 Too Many Requests error while submitting forms on GoDaddy hosting. I submitted a support ticket, but haven’t received any response for the past three months. Due to this issue, I’ve had to replace the contact form with an alternative on many websites.
