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.

    We are using the paid version of this plugin and have found the configuration—particularly around email notifications—to be unnecessarily limited and difficult to manage. Email notifications sent via Gravity Forms using WP SMTP function correctly, but notifications handled by this plugin do not, despite comparable SMTP settings. I wish this plugin was rewritten with better UX and less confusing documentation. This topic was modified 5 months, 2 weeks ago by guerrilladigital.

    Thought I’d check out this plugin, as it seemed to have everything I needed. All I needed to do to test after installing was to either download Caldera forms (free) or Gravity (not free). Caldera has been abandoned since April of 2022. Has no one noticed this glaring issue? IT’S NOVEMBER OF 2024!!! YOU JUST UPDATED THIS PLUGIN 2 WEEKS AGO!!! This leaves only Gravity. This choice does not offer a free option, leaving you unable to actually use the free version. Everything might work on the paid version and this software may be truly amazing, but I will never know. I’m not going to pay TWICE to use this plugin. Note to the Developers: Wake up! There’s obviously no need to offer a free version of your plugin, as it doesn’t actually work for free.

    I experienced a small bug and contacted the devs. They called me and worked with me on a fix, and they had a new version posted for installation within a week. Awesome support! Thank you.

    Plugin setup is quick and easy, and it works great. The support is outstanding! We’ve run into a few issues with our server configuration, user errors, etc. and every time support has quickly helped us resolve the issues. Highly recommended!

    One of my best clients came back to me saying that their IT company had determined that my form handling was NOT HIPAA compliant even though it was secure. I searched for and then found the solution with this plugin. They seem to have thought of everything and their support is top notch though I had better luck calling directly than submitting tickets. Thanks for this excellent plugin that helps me keep my medical clients compliant.

    I am not aware of another plugin that provides HIPAA compliance for forms, but undoubtedly this one would still be the best even if there were alternatives. It receives regular updates and new features, and the service is very affordable. Really, the best part is the fantastic customer service! Spencer is quick to respond to emails, and understands the most important thing is making sure your inbound messages get through. I’ve had a couple of feature requests that, sure enough, make it into the next release. Great job team!

    I just found this after days of searching for HIPAA options for small practice clients. I think I’ve found the solution and cannot thank you enough 🙂
