User reviews
Users appreciate Lightning Autofill for its automation and customization that ease repetitive form filling, boosting productivity. However, many express frustration over the transition to a subscription-based model with strict usage limits, which diminishes its value. Multiple reviews highlight bugs and crashes following recent updates, impacting reliability. The extension lacks advanced management features, making it less practical for complex or heavy users. Overall, while it is effective for basic autofill tasks, recent updates and pricing changes have significantly affected user satisfaction.
Pros
- Effective for automating text input and form filling, saving time on repetitive tasks.
- Highly customizable and convenient for users who frequently fill out similar forms.
- Works well for quick autofill needs and is appreciated by users who use it regularly.
- Some users find it helpful for specific use cases like billing and managing form data.
- Considered a timesaver especially on websites that frequently sign users out.
Cons
- Recent updates have introduced bugs and caused the extension to stop working or lose user data.
- The shift to a subscription model with limited free usage frustrates users who prefer a one-time purchase or need infrequent use.
- Limited free daily usage (mentioned as 10 or 100 fills) restricts usability for heavy or occasional users alike.
- Lack of management features such as grouping or categorizing records makes the tool impractical for complex tasks like billing.
- New versions have broken functionality that previously worked, causing user dissatisfaction and complaints.

Is very good if you do not have several text inputs with same name, like jobs forms where you might have multiple "Job Title" for Work Experience 1, another "Job Title" input text for Work Experience 2, etc. otherwise gets too complicated.

a limitação de utilização de 10 vezes por dia impacta muito a usabilidade do produto, pensei que era limitação de criação de perfis mas é de uso

Worse than before, and now requires a subscription. Don't be fooled, the free plan is more like a trial, useless if you fill out forms regularly.
