Biggest opportunity: Swap “call”, “conversion” and “marketing” for “facebook messenger”, “telegram live chat” and “floating”. “call” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “facebook messenger” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “telegram live chat” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “marketing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “floating” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

3.0%

of downloads still active

At least 70K of 2.4M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,296 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 6 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.

    Although the paid plans you offer include more pageviews capabilities, you should consider to balance price against the amount of pageviews and pop-up views. For emerging sites boosted with ads campaigns, with emerging visits and pageviews, the limits you impose tend to be poor. Nevertheless, it’s a great job you do in styling and UI.

    Would be great if we got more than 10,000 views on the Premium plan.

    The plugin dropped “standalone support” and now forces you to use their platform and create an account there (where?). As their migration instructions say: “The WordPress Legacy plugin is more like a limited self hosted version, while the standalone version is fully hosted and managed by our team. When you migrate, nothing will change for the users of our WordPress legacy plugin as your buttons will transfer and show up as usual.“ This is a limitation for the plugin making it worthless for me, since I do not wish to have it hosted elsewhere (security, reliability, multiple POF). It also is a risk for EU-users since we don’t know where it’s hosted and where user details are send.

    Wonderfully useful plugin. Allows you to create buttons that stay visible all the time and appear after a set time. Very flexible for design. Can be horizontal or vertical buttons etc. Thanks.
