Frequently Asked Questions
Is CRM Perks free?
CRM Perks offers a free CF7 Google Sheets connector on WordPress.org for basic sync. Premium features (custom mapping, conditional logic, multiple sheets, file uploads) require a paid upgrade, typically $49-$149/year per site.
Which is better for CRM integration?
For basic CF7 + one CRM, CRM Perks' individual connectors are simpler and potentially cheaper. For multi-form, multi-CRM with ad attribution tracking, SheetLinkWP's unified Multi-CRM Routing add-on bundles all three CRMs.
Can I migrate from CRM Perks to SheetLinkWP?
Yes. You set up a new connection rather than migrating settings. With one-click Google connect (v1.12.0) that takes about a minute - approve the Google consent screen and pick your spreadsheet in the Google file picker. If you prefer a fully self-hosted setup with no OAuth, the classic Apps Script method is still supported.
Ready for more than a CF7 connector?
The core delivery pipeline is free forever - premium capabilities are $79/yr or a one-time $199-$499 lifetime license.
