Carousel Ultimate

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 · 80% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I have no idea how you use this! Can’t see any options for creating slides or indeed the carousel itself.

   It’s an empty box. Nice try…

   Without really trying the free version, I bought the pro version after I saw the live demo on their website as the style of the carousel was exactly what I wanted after searching around for quite a bit. This plugin’s interface is NOT user friendly at all for a non-techie and there is no video tutorial from the developer, so I had to search for video tutorials on other similar carousel plugins. However to make up for this, my queries were very promptly responded to and I could understand the English (not exactly the case with another WordPress plugin that I bought). P.S. To All Plugins Developers, please try to understand that we who buy your plugins are most likely not web development techies, so please write your plugin in normal English and not web language.

   Not enough information to set up a carousel. Needs documentation. Avoid.

   And to say it shouldn’t exist. No documentation, very bad interface and a constant appeal to “buy pro version”.

   No documentation or any new tab that’s created in the dashboard. Waste of time downloading and installing.
