Really nice plugin. The form builder is a little clunky and counter intuitive, but nothing that can't be handled. If you rely on email marketing/list building for your business then this is definitely a plugin you should have in your arsenal.

Been using Mailchimp for a long time, then switched to Sendinblue as they have no contact limit in their pricing. Unfortunately, the plugin and service feels quite buggy, support takes ages even if you are a paying loyal customer. Not good. Would be great if they took customers serious.

Ok.. so i've installed the plugin, started created forms with custom CSS etc. Spent some hours. Then I wanted to test something and "logged out" of the plugin in my WP admin.. guess what, all forms are gone when you log back in, even with the same API key wtf...

Pretty poor plugin integration with Sendinblue/Brevo, considering its their official app... Form design is clunky and nothing is intuitive. Field names in the default forms don't align with their own online form field names. Just not impressive at all. May other free plugins are far better.

I had a look at the plugin code because the recaptcha invisible was not working... I should have not! The plugin is poorly coded with a lot of bad practices: Multiple IDs on the same page ; Poor separation of concerns No hooks for other developers... I hope you'll run a revamp of the plugin because right now I can't trust it.

I would put 2.5 on 5 but we can't so this is a 2 star rating. The sendinblue support answers quite well and quickly. It ended up telling me it's impossible to have multiple sendinblue forms on the same page to work correctly. If you do so the subscription to your list will work but the recaptcha won't. The plugin will add all the scripts each time for each form on your page. It's all messy and slow as we get the same files loaded multiple times.It doesn't offer the possibility to use the google recatpcha V3 solution. So I get robots to subscribe to my lists. There was nothing in the plugin's documentation to warn me of this.I reckon it's a must have option to have the possibility to get multiple forms on the same page.
