Piotnet Forms

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 3K.

   Could be improved visually as it can feel a bit clunky (not terrible but feel it could be better), and could have more tutorials, videos etc, but it works. Interface isn’t as polished as “drag-and-drop” competitors. A bit of a steeper learning curve to figure out how to style things or map fields correctly.

   I’d give it 5 stars, but the UI is a little clunky, though probably more flexible than most other WP form plugins. I purchased the Pro version which can do more than any other form plugin I’ve tried, including Fluent Forms and Bit Forms. Of course WS Form is still more advanced, but then so is it’s price 😉 Unfortunately for the free version, Piotnet don’t appear to be maintaining it anymore, as it hasn’t had an update in a very long time – maybe they’re only supporting the Pro version now?

   On another note, you guys are fantastic; I enjoy working and pushing the limits with your system and even finding out the bugs. Even making the improvements with the Image Upload, I remember when I first requested if your app could take pictures about 2, maybe three years ago on Messenger… you guys got the Image Upload done, then I asked for a multiple file option with min/max, you got that done. Then the (+/-) buttons- it was a surprise how long that took- but you did get it working. Thank you! I don’t use many plugins anymore. I went to you guys, and you added the feature, which is excellent. Your system blows away all the other form plugins. They are weak. We have now taken advantage of remote requests with our API and are building an excellent app with your plugin. For this, I am both thankful and appreciative! This showed me you guys listened and gained my loyalty!

   This company is one of the only form plugins that disable the entire plugin if any changes to the domain name occur, hurting website owners. No other company does this, not even the big ones, because it’s a well understood concept to not bork your customers website from a license mismatch. GROSS.

   The plugin is decent once you figure out how things work, but it also has limitations. Documentation is thorough but not up to date. If you need support, forget about it. By the time someone gets back to you if at all, it will already have been too late. Better options out there

   Complete and versatile plugin, very lightweight compared to other form builders. Much improved form creation interface compared to early… well done!

   It is useless to contact this support. If an answer comes, it is absolutely not useful. They don’t respond to the support requests, but answer useless stuff and refer to the instructions on their own site, which don’t help. Even the simplest questions cannot be answered properly. I have tried with 3 problems with the plugin and 3 times they have been incompetent. A plugin with such poor support is not useful for use on a live site.
