82 Quality Score

Active Installs

19/30

At 20,000 active installs it is a mid-tier niche addon rather than a mainstream plugin, which is reflected in the popularity score sitting at 64 out of the possible points for its install range.

Update Freshness

25/25

Maintenance is a clear strength, with the plugin updated as recently as July 2026 and verified against WordPress 7.0.1, earning a perfect score on this dimension.

User Rating

15/15

A perfect 100 from 131 reviewers is exceptional, though the relatively small sample means you should still treat the rating as encouraging rather than conclusive.

Support Health

8/15

Support health is the weakest area at 50 out of 100, driven by a single unresolved support thread which is too small a sample to judge responsiveness but still counts against it.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility is flawless on paper, supporting WordPress 4.8 and up on PHP 5.6, so it will run on virtually any host still serving a WordPress site.

What It Does

Database Addon For WPForms (WPFormsDB) creates a dedicated WordPress database table that stores every WPForms submission, then exposes those entries in the admin area where you can view, search, and export them. It fills the gap left by WPForms' own lite version, which does not save entries by default. The plugin is positioned as a lightweight way to retain form data without setting up a full CRM or third-party integration.

Who It's For

This plugin is a fit for small businesses, nonprofits, or solo site owners who use WPForms Lite and need a permanent local record of submissions without paying for WPForms Pro. It works well on contact, feedback, or lead-capture forms where the volume is modest and the data stays in WordPress. It is also reasonable for developers who want a simple custom table to query rather than relying on a hosted service.

Who Should Skip It

If you already run WPForms Pro or a comparable paid plugin, you do not need this since paid tiers save and manage entries natively. Sites handling sensitive or high-volume form data should also skip it, as a dedicated CRM, database plugin, or service is more appropriate for compliance, scale, and backup reliability.

The Bottom Line

WPFormsDB is a focused, well-maintained addon that solves one specific problem, getting WPForms Lite submissions saved in WordPress, and it does that job with a strong rating and current updates. The unresolved support thread and modest install base are the main caveats, so if entry storage is your only requirement it is a sensible, low-cost choice. Anyone needing advanced search, filtering, CRM sync, or enterprise-grade reliability should look at the heavier alternatives instead.
