| Editions | Contact Form 7 | Job Postings |
| 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 | Schema.org JobPosting markup on each job; Job listing, category, search and single-job shortcodes; Application form with reCAPTCHA verification |
| 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 | Application form uses Google reCAPTCHA when enabled, which loads a Google script; Bundles a TCPDF library for PDF export; Settings sit under the Jobs menu rather than Settings |
