A powerful product with strong technical support. I hope for more customization options and improvements to the "Required to login" interaction—even if it means upgrading the plan, haha.
very nice
Great support & product
Fast and solution-oriented support from Rosie. The video explanation was very helpful and made it easy to understand how to solve the issue. Very good support experience!
I like the easy way to build forms, even across several pages. When we ran into a small issue Taylor helped us out through the chat. Bonus points for using the async nature of chat support instead of requiring in sync communication.
Migration support varies by app and category. ES Customer Approval and Powerful Contact Form Builder both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from ES Customer Approval" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
