Contact form with visual form builder. Contact form that sends the data to email, to a database list and to CSV / Excel files.
Security History
What It Does
Contact Form Email lets WordPress site owners build contact forms through a visual builder, with submissions sent to email, stored in a database, and exportable to CSV or Excel files. It bundles lead capture, storage, and export into a single plugin without requiring separate database or export tools. The plugin targets users who want basic form handling without paying for premium form builders.
Who It's For
This plugin is best suited for small business owners, freelancers, and local service providers who need a simple contact form with email notifications and basic data export. It works well for sites that collect inquiries, bookings, or feedback and want all submissions archived locally rather than only emailed. Users running on older WordPress installations will also appreciate the minimal version requirements.
Who Should Skip It
Sites that need conditional logic, multi-step forms, payment collection, or integration with CRMs and marketing automation tools should skip this plugin and use a more capable builder. Anyone expecting active developer support should also look elsewhere, as there are zero resolved support threads on record.
The Bottom Line
Contact Form Email is a competent, lightweight option for simple contact forms with database storage and CSV export, scoring 78.11/100 on our assessment. The maintenance and compatibility scores are excellent, but the total absence of public support threads is a real risk for anyone who needs help troubleshooting. It fits small sites with straightforward needs, not growing businesses that require advanced features or guaranteed support.
