Description
Add extra functionalities to your Contact Form 7 forms with CF7Apps.

Whether you want to block bots, store form entries, redirect users after submission, or build multi-step forms, CF7Apps helps you do it all with zero coding and all in one easy-to-use plugin.

What Is CF7Apps?
CF7Apps is a collection of powerful, modular extensions explicitly designed for Contact Form 7. Built with performance and simplicity in mind, CF7Apps adds essential enhancements to your forms without writing a single line of code.
Each feature is designed as a standalone module, which gives you full control over which add-ons you activate. That means no unnecessary bloat—only the features you need. From protecting your forms with advanced captchas to collecting entries in your database, CF7Apps is the toolkit every CF7 user should have.
Disclaimer: Currently, only the hCaptcha and Honeypot add-ons are available for Contact Form 7. The rest of the addons are under active development and will be released in future updates.
What CF7Apps Can Do for You [Available Addons]
Right out of the box, CF7Apps includes:
✅ hCaptcha App (Available in Beta)
✅ Honeypot App
And that’s just the beginning.
We’re building a growing library of focused apps to help you get more from Contact Form 7 without switching to bulky form builders or using 10 different plugins.
🌟 Add hCaptcha to Contact Form 7
Protect your forms from spam bots using hCaptcha, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google reCAPTCHA. This extension integrates directly with CF7 and works instantly after setup. No coding is required, and no extra plugins are needed. Just set up your site keys and you’re done.
🌟 Add a Honeypot Field to Prevent Spam
Our Honeypot Contact Form 7 extension creates a hidden field inside your Contact Form 7 forms. Real users never see it, but bots do—and that’s how the bots fall for the trap. It blocks automated spam before it even hits your inbox.
NOTE:
The best thing is that both features work independently. You can run them alone or together based on your site’s needs.
Addons That Are Coming Soon to CF7Apps
We’re actively working on several new Contact Form 7 addons that bring premium-level functionality to your Contact Form 7 forms, which are given below:

Split long Contact Form 7 forms into easy-to-complete steps using this upcoming addon. Guide your users through multi-page forms with step indicators and smart navigation.
