 * We needed to put a 100 question survey together and there aren’t that many plugins
   out there that can do – as far as what I found.
    Because we wanted it paged we
   bought the pro version. It does get a bit slow in the backend at that volume 
   of questions and we needed to adapt the way we created it a bit to make it efficient…
   and it took as a bit to figure out the styling, but the licensing alone makes
   it a winner over Gravity Forms. Pay once, get lifetime upgrades and a year worth
   of support. While I prefer full lifetime licenses, this allows me to have the
   plugin on my sites and sleep well knowing that security issues will be patched
   and WordPress updates shouldn’t break my sites without having to pay again for
   updates. Support can take a lot of time (for popular and versatile plugins probably
   more than actually writing it) and by having to pay again after a year I think
   the chances of the plugin keep being developed are higher. I like free plugins
   as much as the next person – and this one has many useful features in the free
   version already – but I can see that there is a limit on how much support can
   be expected depending on how much one pays. I just hope that real bug reports
   are excluded from the one year, and if not that there are other currently paying
   customers finding the same 🙂
