I am starting a business directory site and I was planning to use Gravity Forms to allow contact with each business listing. And I was going to use a separate form for each listing.
Is there a maximum number of gravity forms that can be used before performance suffers?
Or maybe there is an easier way than setting up a separate form for each page?
There is no maximum number of forms. We have tested with hundreds in test installs.
Although, chances are the is a better way of doing things depending on what you are trying to do.
Explain what you are trying to do with your business directory, how the forms should work... and i'm sure we can suggest some alternative ways of doing what you want to do rather than creating unique forms for each listing.
Yes there is a better way to do this. You would create a custom field on the post to store the email address for the contact for that listing.
Then you would use a PHP hook to get that email address value and tell the form to send the notification email to that email address.
They wouldn't be able to view the entries in the backend, but you could have it send the email notification directly to them using one form and not a form for each listing.
Here is a post about a customization to send the email notification to the author of the post. It's similar, only you'd be sending the email notification to an email stored in a custom field for that post:

Anyone with admin access can see the entries.
