Chatnox Live Chat Plugin (Free & Paid Plans)

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 · 85% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 70+ in roughly 410 days.

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.

   The chat does not appear on all pages, show only in Shop page, a few categories, why? How can fix it for show in all pages or on the homepage?

   I gave this plugin 5 stars, based solely on the plugin and how well it works. It does its job (adding ChatNox chat to WordPress websites) and it does it well. It is very easy to install and just as easy to use. With Real-Time Visitor Monitoring, Geolocation Data, Triggers, Canned Responses, Offline Messaging and Live Chat Ratings, there is a lot to love about ChatNox. That being said, ChatNox is more than a WordPress Plugin. ChatNox is a “Chat as a Service” provider, which means there are other things to consider. It is in these “other things” I find problems. Their “Free Sticky Bar” is annoying, though easy enough to disable. There is not a native mobile app for smart phones nor tablets. The advertised Mobile IM integration (Trillian for iOS) is sketchy at best, and doesn’t work most of the time (NO – Not even with the paid version). This isn’t an opinion. I ran several tests on about 10 different client/provider scenarios, and not once did it work correctly. The “Easy to use web-chat interface” is only easy to use, when used from a desktop or laptop. It can be used (though not well) on an iPad, but is nearly worthless on an iPhone. All in all, the plugin is great, but the service, as a whole, leaves a lot to be desired.

   This is by far the most easiest plugin and the set-up is straight forward. The Chat system is the best by far and happy to upgrade soon. Great work team! AG
