Biggest opportunity: Swap “reservation” for “direct booking”. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “direct booking” sits at #4 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 →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 412K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 16 releases 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.

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lamaisonluquet11mo ago
Installé depuis plusieurs mois, j’utilise ce plugin pour vendre des réservations à mes ateliers immersifs, que ce soit sur 1 date ou par groupe de dates. Non seulement le plugin est ultra intuitif, simple à intégrer et ne présentant aucun crash. Le SAV est ultra réactif, avec des fiches réponses très complètes, pédagogues et efficaces. De loin une des solutions de réservations les plus adaptées à des projets peu complexes comme le mien.

An extremely versatile and powerful events booking plug-in. With no bloat or unnecessary superfluous additional features. The ability for standalone and integration with WooCommerce is also extremely helpful. This plug-in essentially allows you to craft whatever you want, with no limitations or restrictions that we’ve found. It’s also rock solid and stable with excellent support.
