AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
VS Contact Form is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Form category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 50 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.

Display form submissions in dashboard Via the settings page you can activate form submissions being stored and displayed in your dashboard.
After activation go to menu item “Submissions”. Your form submissions will be listed here.
SMTP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an internet standard for sending emails.
By default, WordPress uses the PHP mail() function for sending emails. But when using SMTP there’s less chance your form submissions are being marked as spam.
You must install an additional plugin for this, such as WP mail SMTP.
Cache If you’re using a caching plugin and want to avoid conflicts with the contact form, exclude your contact page from caching. This can be done via the settings page of most caching plugins.
