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.

    The plugin is easy to install and comes with good documentation. At first the plugin couldn’t be installed because of a conflict with the plugin ‘CF7 Google Sheet Connector Pro’. The support fixed it quick and I am now using the plugin. It works really well.

    Easy to setup and works like a charm BUT plugin is missing some important features, such as templates to override and create emails for registering users and translation strings for front end texts like error messages, confirmations etc.

    This is a promising plugin, it does what it says, namely to make a custom registration form with the help of Contact Form 7. What I don’t like is that they make an extra menu button in the WordPress Admin interface which lists the users that are registered through the custom registration form. If you click on a user you don’t see the fields that a user filled in during the registration. Apparently those fields are available if you have the Pro-version, but what’s the use of this list if you use the free version? It’s just unnecessary bloat and since there is already a “Users” page, it makes it unclear what the added value is. It would also be handy if I could just edit the URL of the registration button at wp-login.php (because I have a custom registration form right?), which I currently can’t with this plugin.
