Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact” for “submitted”. “contact” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “submitted” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 7K of 137K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,673 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “contact” for “submitted”. “contact” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “submitted” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “database”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Works as expected.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ IT Hertz4.2y ago
My latest project requires a complex CF7 registration form, the data of which must be editable by subadmins. I’m not sure any of the other db plugins provide this, at least for free. It’s what caused me to install this one, and it works splendidly. It also provides for editing, hiding and rearranging labels for a much improved admin UX. One thing this lets you do is replace underscores in CF7 tags with spaces. Adding these features was a very nice touch! I had a special request that the plugin not store empty/null fields (repetitive groups when not all are used) and the devs provided this fix, plus a bonus of clickable URLs for attached/uploaded signature files that open in a new browser tab. These updates were provided within a couple of days after the request. Outstanding support!

It is very useful. It even lets you modify the form inputs. Thanks a lot

I don’t mind that the free version only displays data from a single form. What I do mind though is the fact that it is not translation ready. Such a basic feature and they just ‘forget’ to add the support for it. EDIT: coder added the code needed to translate the plugin to other languages.
