Visit CloudSponge

CloudSponge is a JavaScript contact picker widget that lets website visitors choose recipients from their own address books without leaving the site. It addresses the manual effort of typing email addresses into recipient lists, and is used in referral forms, invitations and e-cards, find-a-friend searches, and other sharing interfaces.

The Contact Picker supports dozens of webmail and address book integrations, with a customizable provider menu and responsive, mobile-first interface. Integration options include a simple form-field approach, webhooks, callbacks, and Zapier, plus a Contacts API with SDKs for PHP, Java, Ruby, .NET, ColdFusion, and a React wrapper. Platform add-ons cover WordPress and WooCommerce, Shopify, Drupal, Wix, BuddyPress, Bubble, and Heroku, along with referral and sweepstakes tools. The Branded plan adds custom stylesheets, fonts, languages, labels, and branding; headless mode is also available. Address book data is held in server memory only and is not saved to disk.

CloudSponge is aimed at developers and product teams building recipient-list interfaces, particularly for e-commerce, referral, and sharing workflows. Plans are packaged as Launch, Growth, and Branded editions, with annual and monthly options, usage limits on contact lists and selected contacts, and volume pricing available on request. A 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee apply to all plans.
