Answers.Body: <p>Totally agreed with Jon G. We are using a mix of the solution above depending on what needs to be achieved. Form Processor and Contact Form 7 do work well together.
  The remaining question is for paid membership which is not yet handled by FormBuilder but might be soon.</p>

  You have several options.
  
  The oldest option is profiles (**Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Profiles**). These are basic in functionality, but are still my first choice for newsletter signups.
  
  Second is FormBuilder (Enable at **Administer > System Settings > Extensions**, then find at **Administer > Customize Data and Screens > FormBuilder**). This is the successor to profiles and Caldera Forms. It does many things that both are incapable of, but still has rough edges - e.g. there's no easy way to add a submitter to a group automatically. But it improves significantly with each month.
  
  Third is Caldera Forms. Some CiviCRM developers are maintaining a fork of Caldera Forms that continues to work. I don't have details but someone else can surely respond.
