How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I am so happy I found this plugin. Besides finally being able to create better looking forms, I am mainly a big fand of the dynamic dropdown feature. I looked everywhere for something like this, it was easy to set up and works perfectly, also thanks to the great support in the forum and the videos on their youtube channels. Truly a five star plugin! 🙂

   An excellent plugin that extends the functionality of Contact Form 7 in many ways from layout options to conditional fields and more. Also, good communicable support as well for when updates, debugging and plugin development is required.

   This plugin is an essential part of the free, open source contact form system for WordPress that starts with Contact Form 7 and eventually contains all the features the expensive ones have. The essential part of the jigsaw this one adds is the ability to put fields side by side, without having to learn some (fairly complex) HTML layout rules. It also adds a GUI, without which many users would just give up on CF7. Aurovrata works really hard at fixing problems, even when they’re caused by upstream changes he has no control over. The interface is a little confusing and there’s work still to do, for example to support conditional groups properly but these are minor quibbles. I know of no other way of doing all this in a free system that also (using other plugins) supports conditional groups, CiviCRM integration, submission logging and so on. Caldera Forms used to come close but it was more limited and has now been withdrawn anyway. Why is “free” important? Because annual renewal is a pain for maintenance, many sites don’t have the visitors to justify the cost, a huge user base is important for driving features and finding bugs, because open source code can be fixed quickly and so on.`
