Reviews
what people actually sayFormsDB is a well-regarded utility plugin for saving Elementor form submissions, appreciated for its simplicity and ease of use, but it carries a notable caveat around admin backend performance issues and a broken CSV export function.
What people like
- +Works reliably for capturing and storing Elementor form submissions×7
- +Lightweight and easy to set up×3
- +Useful for verifying whether forms are successfully submitting
- +Does not save user IP addresses, which is a privacy benefit
- +Read status tracking per submission is available, with a user request to add bulk mark-as-read
Common complaints
- −Large numbers of saved submissions can cause fatal PHP errors and severely slow down or break the WordPress admin backend×2
- −CSV export function does not work, making it difficult to use the data externally
- −Timestamp for submission reads is shown in GMT rather than local time, causing confusion
