WP Comment Cleaner – Delete All Comments, Disable Comments, Bulk Delete & Remove Comments

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 · 17% 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.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Older reviewers rave about wiping thousands of comments in one click, while the newest ones say the free version caps out at 500 comments and pushes a license key and Freemius connection before it'll do anything.

13 of the last 24 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 7 of those landed between 2025-07-10 and 2025-07-25.

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.

   can’t delete comments if you have more than 500 with the free one. You can’t even delete the first 500. Thrash. WP Bulk Delete will do it for free, fyi.

   After activation, the plugin ask you add “premium key” or active free version then ask to connect via Freemius. And, after all you only can delete 500 comments.
