Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form 7” for “contact form 7 extension”. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “contact form 7 extension” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 40K of 10.3M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 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 1 release 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.

Thank you for your support. The service and problem resolution are simply wonderful!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ richgraphix9mo ago
The settings for this plugin aren’t its own page, but a page within each CF7 form. I’m not sure if that’s any more of a limitation than strange UX. The plugin creates a cmatic_daily_cron cron job that is set to run once daily but often gets stuck and won’t run and refuses to run manually. Again, it appears to function fine without it – but then what is that cron supposedly doing?Recently, there’s a new admin bar icon in the top bar, with a nag for upgrading. That alone is enough to make me not want to upgrade to pro (for some clients I use pro, for others there’s no budget for that).Finally, when navigating away from any CF7 page, if this plugin is active the browser warning “Changes you made may not be saved” shows – whether you saved or not, whether you changed anything or not. Anyway, its pretty good, but not great. (minus one star for the nag; minus one star for the browser warning and the cron job error). These errors make me doubt if its working and want to constantly audit the MailChimp list, but with dozens of sites using it, that’s a big task.

Fatal errors and no support
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ xuan233.3y ago
Be Aware, once you signup for pro there is NO way of CANCELING the account. Which means they keep taxing your account every year! I am not sure how they can do this as this is not a subscription service and is illegal. We have tried to get in touch but they do not answer the emails. So it looks like now we need to go to the POLICE. Maybe they can answer here???

BE AWARE of this plugin – It is now a SCAM! DO NOT SUBSCRIBE to premium as you will not be able to cancel. They NO LONGER provide support, the website does not work when you try to access your account, and they NO LONGER answer the emails but they still charge you and they make it very hard to cancel or change account details. VERY DISAPPOINTED – and can’t understand how this is allowed on the WordPress community! Now we will need to go to the bank to blacklist this user and account and look for another provider!
