Comparison
Lead Ledger vs form plugin email only
Your contact form already sends email. Lead Ledger adds a lead log, dashboard, alerts, and trends so nothing gets lost in the inbox.
Form notifications are fine for delivery — but email is a poor system of record. Lead Ledger keeps every submission searchable, shows weekly trends, and Pro recovers partial submissions before Submit.

FAQ
Common questions

Yes, unless you switch to the native Lead Ledger form shortcode. Most sites keep CF7, WPForms, or builder forms and add Lead Ledger for logging and alerts.
