of downloads still active
At least 5K of 28.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,015 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| chatbase your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| ai your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| chatbots your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Silhouettist10mo ago
For those with a phobia of Java script (like me) this little plugin will do exactly what it says and instal your Chatbase widget on your site for you. It works fine. Would be better if the owners would update it occasionally so we don’t see a “not yet tested on your version of WordPress” message. This is a bit naff for a paid service like Chatbase and is the reason for 4* not 5*.
