Contact Form 7 alternative
The Contact Form 7 alternative with an inbox for every lead.
Contact Form 7 is free and dependable, but it does not keep your entries and you build forms with tags. FillKite is free too, with a drag and drop builder, an entries inbox and conditional logic, and it imports your Contact Form 7 forms in one click.

Why switch
What you get with FillKite
Every entry kept
By default Contact Form 7 does not write submissions to your database, so a lost email is a lost lead. FillKite saves every entry first, then emails you, and retries emails that fail.
Drag and drop, not tags
Contact Form 7 forms are written as form tags in a text box. FillKite has a drag and drop builder with a live preview and 29 field types.
Logic built in
Show or hide fields, route emails and change the thank-you message with rules that read as sentences. No add-on needed.
Know where leads come from
UTM tags, referrer and landing page, GA4 and Meta Pixel events, and a lead quality badge on every entry.

Import in one click
FillKite → Import finds your Contact Form 7 forms, even when Contact Form 7 is switched off, and brings over fields, choices, required settings, notifications, auto-replies and thank-you messages.
Check the report
The import report lists anything that could not come over, and why.
Switch your pages
FillKite can swap the old forms on your pages. You preview every change, and each page keeps a revision you can go back to.
