Biggest opportunity: Swap “price comparison” for “competitor”. “price comparison” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “competitor” sits at #8 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 20 of 3.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 1 release 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.

Works perfect and their service is even better
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lovetech1.8y ago
We have a catalogue of over 20,000 lines, in a space with high price volatility – so repricing has always been a huge administrative burden. Other repricing solutions out there are incredibly expensive, or just don’t offer the coverage and scalability that we need to cover our large catalogue of products. This plugin does it all – we just setup our main competitor profiles, mapped their products against ours, and set the repricing rules. It now runs seamlessly in the background every week, ensuring our prices are kept in-line with market trends and competitor changes – so we’re always the most competitive that we can be (with profitability protected using our minimum threshold)
