Email Address Encoder

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 · 100% 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.

   No answer from the author on several emails regarding my bought licenses. I had the idea to buy more licenses, but without any response this plugin is dead.

   I do not understand the naming convention between pro and freeHard to understand if it is being maintained with as much vigor as the free version.. why is pro/paid at v 0.3.11. Why would’t the developper keep some sort of parity between the pro and free in naming convention ?

   Habe das Plugin in der Pro Version gekauft. Nach einiger Zeit läuft nur noch die gratis Version. Grund: Meine Lizenz wird offenbar irgendwo sonst verwendet!?Nachfrage beim Support: KEINE ANTWORT!Frechheit oder Betrug, ich mag es nicht beurteilen.Aber mein Rat: Finger weg von diesem Hersteller.

   works correctly with simple websites ; may stop other plugins from functioning (such as plausible stats), and then, absolutely no replies, and no support would be provided, even with pro version… This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by Patrice Grometto.

   Bought the plugin, it did not work. Couldn’t reach the support. Did not get any refund. Seems to be scam. I’ve escalated the issue to the bank and they will contact the authorities.

   Not what it was once… Awful support, no updates and no help.
