High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. annual revenue
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.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles17 of the last 22 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 9 of those landed between 2015-01-08 and 2015-01-24.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Easy to install. Easy to use. If all you need is a simple but custom contact form, look no further.

Does what it says on the tin. The developer has struck the ideal balance between (a) ease of use by average user and (b) the complexities that more advanced users require.

I’ve been looking a while for a contactform-plugin. This one is the first, which meets every requirements for free!

Awesome plugin. Simple, works well, and excellent support!

I don’t say it is bad, but competition has many many more options to configure and make forms and emails functional and beautiful without digging in a code. Most importantly I was disappointed by how email created with this plugin looked like and that I could not answer this email to email address given in this plugin. Maybe I can set it up by doing something, just saying that in other plugin I have it right away.

This is the best free, simple contact form I have used. Its drag and drop, there are JUST enough options to make it useful, the GET variable field can be useful. If you dont need the power and price of a paid form, and dont need the complexity of contact form 7, this is the one!

Now THIS is a good contact form plugin. And a good forum support too.

This plugin is just brilliantly designed. Simple to use and easily customizable, all the basic stuff are here. But the advantage of this plugin is its design, kudos to the author, you’ve done an amazing job designing this plugin. Well done!!!
