Biggest opportunity: Swap “appointment booking” and “booking system” for “shop” and “vehicle booking”. “appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shop” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking system” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vehicle booking” sits at #10 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 →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 42K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 26 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.

Repair Buddy has been a great addition to our workflow. It allowed us to create a streamlined repair portal that makes it easy for our customers to submit, track, and manage their repairs in real time. The setup was straightforward, and the flexibility of the plugin made it easy to tailor to our specific process (with help from the developers). It’s helped us deliver a better overall customer experience. Highly recommend for any service-based business looking to modernize their operations.

3 years user and great helper for a one man band shop.

Ever since installing Repair Buddy, my repair workflow has improved in a way that genuinely deserves praise. My repair volume went up, my process became more efficient, and the plugin has already paid for itself many times over. But what truly sets this plugin apart is the developer, Ateeq. His support has been on a level you just don’t see anymore. He has repeatedly gone out of his way to help—fixing issues that weren’t even caused by the plugin, responding quickly every time I reached out, and walking me through problems even when they were due to conflicting plugins or mistakes on my own site. He even tracked down and repaired a theme-level code conflict that he had no obligation to touch. The fact that he stepped in anyway says everything about the kind of support you get with this plugin. If you’re on the fence about whether Repair Buddy is worth it… the answer is absolutely, without question, YES!

We are using this plugin for our audio repair shop since 2 years now and we are really happy with it, it has been a game changer, automating the way we communicate with our customers, following repair status, creating reports, invoices, etc… Integrated with woocomerce, tracking your inventory.. etc. etc.. It has been posible to adapt it to the way we work and our specific devices and brands. It keeps updating with new features and improvements. They offer a great support and updates dedicated to your shop. Highly recommended! Thank you!
