The two plugins are different in their goals and requirements.

Contact3 is a general contact form that can be added to a page.

The features & benefits are:
  • Integration is done via plugin hook in theme (page end) - No manual integration required.
  • Sending via PHP mail & SMTP
  • Use of an individual sender, so that almost every email provider can be used
  • Three possible captcha solutions
  • Use of a custom theme for styling is possible
  • Email to sender possible
Downsides:
  • currently only one contact form possible
  • Theme must support plugin hook
  • Custom success/error message must currently be manually customized in language file
EasyContact-Form allows indiviual contact forms, which can be added directly to content pages. The respective form is added via HTML on the desired page. For support there is a kind of mini-wizard.

The features & benefits are:
  • Multiple contact forms possible
  • Integration independent of theme
  • Error message & field descriptions individually adjustable per form
  • currently two possible captcha solutions
Downsides:
  • contact form is pure HTML content in the page content, so you have to be careful when editing it
  • inline styling makes optical customization a bit more complicated (but possible)
  • Currently sending only via PHP mail solution (no SMTP)
  • Currently no possibility to send copy to sender
The old "Contact" plugin is very old and only compatible with Bludit v2.
