RackForms Express Web Form Builder

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

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

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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   When installing the plugin I got this error on a further white screen: “The plugin does not have a valid header”. I like the idea of your plugin, and it looks like it has great potential. Watching your enthusiastic video about it, I’d like to give it a spin. But it still seems a but buggy 😉 Regards, Paul

   Works exactly as advertised, and as a bonus, has some pretty cool advanced features like multiple emails. Tested in the latest version (4.1), and all seems fine. Would be nice to have some mapping features (would be 5 star if so), but overall, a solid form builder!

   Against my better judgment since it was brand new with only 50 downloads, I tried this free plug-in, and I learned my lesson. I wasted hours and hours trying to get it to work properly, only to hit another obstacle or overcome another bug. I should have cut my losses a long time ago. You can get a sense of some of the issues in the support forum. The last straw was when the support guy generously offered to set up a Skype call to help me (and also probably help them make the plug-in better), and then he blew off our scheduled call and I haven’t heard from him sense. Learned my lesson to not waste my time with untested new plug-ins again.
