Biggest opportunity: Swap “newsletter” for “mailchimp subscription form”. “newsletter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mailchimp subscription form” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.8%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 106.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Finally a free plugin that supports groups at signup. Love it
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ rmast6.3y ago
I installed this plugin as it was already updated for the newest WordPress, while other plugins lagged behind and were not tested for the newest WordPress yet. For that reason WordPress showed this plugin on the top left, with a 5 star rating. However, together with a Woocommerce plugin this plugin showed some warning on the bottom of my live website and wasn’t able to subscribe to Mailchimp and didn’t tell me why. It only told it encountered a technical issue. For real use of this plugin I would also like a Captcha to prevent my site from sending spam in double opt-in mail to fake subscribers. I have made a report on the support forum for the first issue.
