Nice Form Builder with lots of options!

As someone who has built several websites, forms are always a bit of a frustration. I have used several form builders to help - I mostly now use CoffeeCup's Web Form Builder for my projects. Seeing this as an alternative, I was exited to give it a try!

Pros:
-There are a lot of options you can do with this builder - I especially liked the Conditional Logic Options and it gave plenty of robust scenarios that you can use for your forms!
-The UI is fairly intuitive, drag and drop is pretty simple, to move elements around is fairly easy as well. While it is a bit "crowded" with options running along both sides of it, I am glad that there are a ton of options to create most any form you want.
-This builder allows transparent backgrounds (under Custom - then you need to select background colors and move the opacity slider). This is nice for adding to sites that already have a design (which would be my primary purpose).
-Form auto-updates with changes as you update the form. Once it is embedded into your site, you don't have to keep re-embedding it with any changes (the links/id stay the same).
-Security features are built into the builder so they are easy to implement into your form.

Cons:
-When embedding a form it shows a login bar above the form which is unsightly (even when you don't have the login method checked).
-If the content area the form is in isn't "tall" enough, the form adds a scroll bar within the form instead of just extended the content area - it would seem I would have to add a bunch of blank paragraph tags in the page for the content area to have the space already there for the form.
-This is a subscription vs. a LTD - while I understand that helps to cover ongoing development/storage/etc. I am not a big fan of adding another subscription (even though it is incredibly discounted) to my overhead. By using this it pretty much strongarms you into constantly paying for the subscription - otherwise the forms you have created an implemented would no longer work (to my understanding). I will have to play with this more and see if it is something that I will use more than CoffeeCup's Form Builder to decide on the yearly subscription or not.

Overall, this is a great web-based form builder. It is pretty easy to use, it has a multitude of features, and it will be neat to see where future development takes it! If you are looking for an easy way to build and implement forms across a variety of platforms, and you don't mind an ongoing yearly subscription fee, this definitely is something to check out!!

Thanks Chris, also thanks for that link. I can see what's happening, for the embed script by default the height is 100% which to the system means "take up all of the available space", but if the available space on the website is not known to be large enough you can instead replace it with a height (e.g. "1000px" instead of "100%") and it will push the form into your website at that height. I think 100% here is confusing as you would (rightly) think it means "expand to 100% of the forms height". We're going to work on this so users don't need to worry about setting heights.
BTW side note that conversational form is all on one slide/step
