 * Will not process the form data unless you cough up $$$. Free version is a scam
   with almost no functionality.

 * Hi [@jimmylee7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimmylee7/),
 * I’m sorry, but that’s not entirely true. The free version of the plugin allows
   to create many forms to create quote or estimation forms.
 * For example, if you want to create a form for allowing calculate mortgages, estimate
   the price of services, the ideal weight of users, etc. etc. The plugin is distributed
   with five functional forms.
 * However, if you want to include a submission button, simply insert a common button
   field, and enter as its onclick event the piece of code:
 * `jQuery(this).closest('form').submit();`
 * but in the free version of the plugin you should implement the server side code
   to manage the collected data (all this features are included in the pro version
   of the plugin).
 * Best regards.

 * Not even close to a scam. Its all up there on their site and a quick email to
   ask the question about your concerns would have cleared it up. Why people post
   negative comments about a free plugin without first asking the devs is beyond
   me.

 * Not correct. The free version is offers powerful and versatile calculated fields,
   as the name suggests. In fact I have it set up for calculations which the market
   leader Gravity Forms are unable to offer, even with their many add-ons. This 
   plugin, its active support and development rock in my opinion.
