Arena.IM – Live Blogging for real-time events

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   We’re using on our website since 2017 and our users love it. Definitely the best live blog tool in the market, and it’s free.

   Best plugin for live blogging! After trying pretty much every other plugin/tool out there, Arena.im is by far the best, specially for sports (with live scores, play by play) and breaking news. The widget adapts to my CSS and loads super fast. The support team is amazing and they’re always improving and adding new features!
