Elastic Email Sender

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 · 99% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   This plugin instantly solves my problems. I have Elastic email through Cloudways, and I install this plugin, add my API key, and it instantly resolves my email issues.

   Elastic email sender is just what I needed. After configuring and fussing with other SMTP plugins, I found this and it turned out to be ‘set it and forget it’. hutch

   I’ve been using the old version for years and just discovered this. No more SMTP settings/passwords, etc. Just need your API key. Super-easy!

   In general I like Elastic Email, but the plugin is conflicting with Visual Composer (WP Bakery) and pages cannot be build. VC is a very popular used page builder, implemented in tons of themes, so for me this means to cancel my account with elastic email. Which is a shame.
