Biggest opportunity: Swap “under construction”, “maintenance” and “maintenance mode” for “coming”, “soon” and “youtube subscribe”. “under construction” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “coming” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “maintenance” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “soon” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “maintenance mode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “youtube subscribe” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 1.5M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 3 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.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles12 of the last 19 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Love the Coming Soon plugin, very versatile, worth getting the PRO version. Had something that I needed adding (our own font) and this was sorted out for me within 24 hours. Very recommended and would purchase other plugins when needed.

Version pro acquise : Un problème d’affichage du logo et des icones de réseau sociaux, mais 24h après avoir laissé un message au support, le problème était résolu. Vu le prix de la licence, je ne suis pas déçu de cet achat, le résultat est top. Acquired pro version: A problem with the display of the logo and social network icons, but 24 hours after leaving a message to support, the problem was solved. Considering the price of the license, I’m not disappointed by this purchase, the result is great.

I maintain the official site of the Municipality of Marathon, Attica, Greece. You can check the plugin here Municipality of Marathon. For our community is very critical to keep our people informed for upcoming events. This plugin is extremely easy to embedded in our pages and offer a clean information to our viewers. The plugin comes in form of a shortcode and you may only change the internal parameters. Of course it includes its own graphic interface to create new coming-soon events with custom images. It also may be used in multilingual sites as ours. It is light for desktops and mobiles. Thanks WpDevArt team!

I had a problem with the free version and they actually logged into my site and solved it free of charge after not being able to resolve it via email. This company stands behind their product and the plugin works great.
