| 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 modules in one plugin, each switched on separately; Brute-force protection and an image CDN without extra services; Contact form with Akismet spam checks and entries kept in admin |
| 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 WordPress.com connection to work fully; Usage tracking runs once the site is connected, with no separate toggle found; Paid plans gate some features, such as multi-step forms |
