Reviews
Nearly perfect, but learning curve was challenging
The only thing that caused me to ding it down to a 4-star instead of 5 what the learning curve was a bit challenging. Ninja Forms has it beat for use-of-use, but Ninja Forms requires a bunch of really expensive add-ons to do what I wanted.
This was for a non-profit club for which I was building a website, as a volunteer, and they don’t have a huge budget.
I would have given it a 4.5, but that’s not an option.
The setup of a membership registration form with email notification, conditional redirection to a thank-you page, and a downloadable database took me about 3 hours total, most of which was spent researching the support forum and finding other (free) plugins to provide the missing functionality. I write software for a living, so it might take somebody with less experience a bit longer than that. But CF7 is definitely usable if you are willing to invest the effort. Don’t give up!
I also found CF7 a lot more tedious to use than Ninja Forms for a simple contact form, but like I said, I needed something non-trivial on a limited budget. I was able to get everything I needed for a membership registration form using only free plugins.
I like it enough that I plan to replace Ninja Forms with CF7 in some of my own sites. I’m also favorably inclined to make a donation when I do that.

Simple & Easy to Use for Form
I’m using this Plugin on my Website-https://www.easebedding.com/
It is so easy to use to create Contact Us form and I’m using it only for this purpose.
And now I’m using for my these websites too:-
1-1-https://www.topbestspot.com/
2-https://bloggingcreation.com/
3-https://luxuryhomedecorforcheap.com/
And will continue to use it right now as a free and may be I’ll Update to Pro later after some time.
Thanks for this Plugin.
Big Issue
While I enjoy this plug, it really recommend you make your forms responsive. It’s annoying to have to go in and hand-code it myself when the plugin, in my mind should do it for me, especially considering I have several other forms on my site, I feel that having the forms be responsive would be a huge step up.
