Biggest opportunity: “availability checking”, “woocommerce booking” and “woocommerce rental” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 37.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,181 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

| woocommerce rental your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I discovered a critical bug in the RnB Booking plugin: when an order is set to “cancelled” in WooCommerce, the booked time slot is never released. This leads to overbooking – customers can book more items than actually exist. The root cause is clear: the hook woocommerce_order_status_cancelled is simply missing in the plugin code. The same logic exists for failed orders, but was never implemented for cancellations. When I tried to report this, I was told my 6-month support period had expired and I would need to pay €20 to extend support – just to report a bug in their code. I want to be fair: the plugin has many great features and works well in general. But asking paying customers to pay again just to submit a bug report is not acceptable. Bug reports benefit all users and should always be welcome, regardless of support status. I hope the developers will fix this in a future update. For rental businesses relying on this plugin, this bug is a real operational risk.

I recently integrated “RnB Lite – WooCommerce Booking and Rental System” into my WooCommerce store to offer rental services, and the impact has been nothing short of remarkable. I was amazed to see the simplicity of the interface that my rental option was live in 2 mins. I would defiantly recommend the plugin. Great work guys! Great updates, A Value for money package by RedQ

This plugin is really easy to to start with. But there is many scope for improvement stand alone hourly booking feature can be a great addition to your plugin. Great works with the new update.

I could easily set up rental and booking criteria by using this plugin. And this plugin is very easy to use for solving basic rental use cases. There are some scopes for improving hourly pricing use cases. Please have a look at this mentioned feature.

Bought pro version, but it is very frustrating when it come to resolve a problem. Forget about all these features offer. Not worth to go for pro version.
