| Editions | Contact Form 7 | Green Popups ($) |
| Pros | Completely free, with no upsells in the code; Several spam options: Akismet, reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, quiz, disallowed list; Stripe payment field and Brevo contact sync built in | Many popup types with campaign triggers and targeting rules; Connects forms to a long list of email and CRM services; Field analytics and a transactions log for form activity |
| Cons | No visual drag-and-drop builder; forms are markup; No conditional logic or multi-step forms without add-ons; Does not store submissions without Flamingo | Needs a purchase code for updates and licence checks; Very large codebase with many admin screens to learn; Integration coverage depends on each service API staying compatible |
