Biggest opportunity: “email”, “wishlists” and “woocommerce” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 2.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
65/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

We decided to cancel our 7 days free trial after 3 days, because it diden pay off at all. No where to cancel, support diden reply and after 7 days we get charged.

I love this plugin as it gives a very professional look to our site. When we saw it on another site I thought it was a custom app but was delighted to see it was a plugin. It allows you to create a fully customizable look that fits your brand. However, in order to see analytics and have all the customizing tools, you must have a PRO+ plan. I think that the analytics should be at least available for all plans so we could determine how much the plugin is being used. We like that the PRO+ plan allows the product photo to be included in the email. We are excited to see how this will affect sharing and sales.
