Bellows Accordion Menu

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 · 86% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   This plugin works flawlessly and does exactly what it promises. I initially used the free version and was so happy with it that I decided to purchase the Pro version to meet some specific client requirements. Not only is the plugin excellent, but the support team is outstanding—quick, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They even helped me troubleshoot an issue that turned out to be unrelated to the plugin itself. Highly recommended!

   Somehow its hard these days to find plugins that just work and do what they say without throwing 10000 advertisements in your face. This is one of those that just work. Looks fantastic, works fantastic! Thank you!

   Just what I was looking for. I needed another output option that was not available out of the box, and the developer assisted me with a short-term solution and made plans to add the feature in future versions.
