WP Landing Pages
Cons Features
Templates have bugs; however, with the support this shouldn’t be a problem.
The leads would be stored in the WP system, thus weighing the system down. If you are ready to pay for a good Plugin, you can buy the Gravity Forms and Gravity to Zoho integration plugins. There is a Gravity extension available for WP Landing Pages.
You cannot track the source of your landing pages (you would not know where exactly are the visitors landing from).
No matter what you want to do with your leads, you’ll have the extra work of exporting them from WordPress, and import them to whatever tool you are using (for email marketing, or just lead management).
