See this article regarding contact form 7 alternatives
One of the comments to this article says the following:
Hello,
NOW is the best time to ditch CF 7!
If you follow the CF7 support forum, you probably know by now, that in the recent versions, the developer removed the ability to use reCAPTCHA V2 and forced upon CF7 plugin users reCAPTCHA v3.
This was the most stupid and disastrous decision this plugin developer has ever made.
Any user which updated the CF7 plugin to a version above 5.0.5 , got into trouble immediately. reCATCHA v3 caused a huge number of websites to break, be flooded with spam, not able to send/receive forms etc. You name it.
Users got furious, frustrated and felt betrayed by the plugin developer, Just look at the support forum to see the scale of anger and frustration.
They all begged the developer to re-enable reCAPTCHA V2. In the meantime, the only solution was to downgrade to version 5.0.5.
We all waited with anticipation for the next plugin update, since everyone rightfully believed he can’t ignore his users and leave them like that.
But today, the waiting and uncertainty period finally ended.
The plugin developer announced that he doesn’t have any plans to re-enable reCAPTCHA v2.
This was indeed very bad news for all us users. BUT, on the other hand, we now know where we stand.
Many, I guess millions, are now actively looking for an alternative FREE form plugin, which enables reCAPTCHA .v2.
So this article really comes in handy now. Good job and thank you very much.
I guess today marks the beginning of the sad fall of the CF 7 plugin.
