Best free contact form generator

A user that is mad at the latest Emailmeform news asked me to tell him the best Emailmeform alternative. So I decided to create a short list with the pros and cons of the best free contact form generators on the market. They are in alphabetical order.

123ContactForm
Pros: Lots of features, including Captcha, form autoresponder, html form templates; no limit of form submissions.
Cons: no file uploads, form cannot be used in iFrame.

FormSite
Pros: Lots of features, including skip / branch functionality, html form templates, file uploading.
Cons: limited to 100 submissions, Captcha not available.

FormSpring
Pros: Lots of features, including Likert scales, multi-column layout, reports.
Cons: limited to 50 sumbissions, no file uploads, Captcha not available.

Wufoo
Pros: Lots of features, including predefined forms, html form templates, Likert scales, Captcha.
Cons: limited to 100 submissions, no file uploads.

This is a quick review of the main contact form generators: 123ContactForm, FormSite, FormSpring, Wufoo. They are not limited to contact forms, you can create a wide variety of forms with all these 4 services. If you need advanced features, every service has advanced service plans, that require a monthly fee, which will remove the limitations, and offer extra features, like Paypal order forms, Google Checkout integration, and so on.

Which one do you prefer?

  1. It sure would be nice to be able to find a form generator with Paypal integration that was free. I only need one form and I'm not gonna pay $19.95 or more per month just to have one form.
