Why switch
What you get with FillKite
Free where Fluent charges
Conditional emails and thank-you messages, popup forms, webhooks and automatic deletion of old entries are Pro in Fluent Forms and free in FillKite.
Leads that get answered
A reply timer on every entry, reminders when a lead waits, a lead quality badge and automatic retries for failed emails.
SMTP built in
Fluent Forms relies on the separate FluentSMTP plugin. FillKite sends through your mail server itself and checks your sender domain.
