AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Contact Form Zero is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Web Guy — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (1) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

💬 Ask Question | 📧 Email Me
Zero Difficulty. Zero Spam.
Add a stupidly simple and lightweight contact form to your website in any page, post, or text widget with this shortcode:
[contact-form-zero]
The entire point of this plugin is to be completely hands-free, easy, and just work straight out-of-the-box. Simply plug and play without any required settings to adjust.
If you’re looking for the exact opposite of that, that is, a form you can custom build with advanced options, I recommend Contact Form 7.
