User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate Contact Form 7 for its simplicity, ease of use, and extensive customization options. The plugin allows users to set up contact forms quickly and offers flexibility for those familiar with HTML and CSS. It's reliable and integrates well with other tools, such as Google reCAPTCHA and various WordPress themes and plugins. However, users have reported several drawbacks. Frequent updates aimed at improving security often introduce new issues, such as compatibility problems and errors that disrupt site functionality. The support for the free version is lacking, leading to frustration among users when issues arise. The recent version updates have caused significant disruptions, forcing some users to seek alternatives.

Best contact form plugin for WordPress. The 1 click setup makes things very easy for any level of wordpress user. It automatically captures the admin email id for setting up the form. Insert the short code anywhere and boom! Awesome work.
