Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Formulare ohne Sicherungsfunktionen sind gegen Missbrauch sind nicht mehr Zeitgemäß. Kein reCapchta oder ähnliches möglich. Alternative über anderes Plugin von Cleverreach mit CF7 inkl. reCaptcha ist auch nur eingeschränkt möglich (keine Select-Felder oder bestehende Felder aus Liste verknüpfbar). Daher aktuell scheinbar keine brauchbare Lösung von Cleverreach für meinen Fall.

    Unfortunately this plugin is just pretty barebones in comparison to the Mailchimp WP plugin or NinjaForms for example and there are hardly any configuration options for the form fields. I can understand that there is no WYSIWYG editor and you have to do your CSS styling manually. Although i would have liked at least a minimum of default styling, so that you don’t have to design the layout (especially responsive) from scratch – but ok, that’s no big issue. But why do the form fields not even have an aria-label or a configurable placeholder attribute? In the end I had to write a JS snippet which manipulates the DOM content to add these attributes. The support here also seems more or less non-existent. Well, at least the plugin seems to get regular updates. Therefore only ok-ish.

    It seems a lot of (previously working) functionality is broken since takeover of this Plugin by CleverReach of the original developer. It seems CleverReach has a hard time fixing these bugs, so I posted workarounds in following threads: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-after-upgrade-to-v2-3-1-2/ https://wordpress.org/support/topic/print_cleverreach_form-functionality-broken-in-2-3-0-and-2-3-1/

    Leider verliert das Plugin regelmäßig die Verbindung zu CleverReach, ohne das eine Meldung o.ä. erscheint. Man muss den Account dann im Backend neu verbinden. Aber in dieser Zeit kann sich kein Nutzer neu anmelden 🙁
