Good but Limited

Works well for basic email setup & easy to connect with Mailchimp. UI is simple. But needs more flexibility in forms. Overall, a good plugin. tnx 👍

Simple Mailchimp Connect

Good plugin for connecting Mailchimp with WP. Setup was pretty easy and forms started collecting emails without much hassle. UI is clean too. A few more design options would be nice, but overall works

Wufoo Shortcode Reviews

Excellent!

Super easy to use!!! Must-have!

by Juan Rodriguez

Nothing Different

Its the same as using any embed code, there’s no difference. Wish you could find and import your Wufoo Form straight from WordPress instead of having to go back and forth between sites.
