Email Subscribers & Newsletters by Icegram Express – Email Marketing, Post Notifications & WooCommerce Marekting Automation for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

748 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 647 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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 · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 72% of the way through.

   I’ve been using Icegram Express for a long time and it has made email marketing inside WordPress really simple. Creating subscriber lists, sending newsletters, and setting up post notification emails is easy and beginner-friendly. The interface is clean, easy to use, and saves a lot of time. What I like most is the email deliverability. Emails are sent reliably and everything works smoothly inside WordPress without needing extra tools.The support team is also responsive and helpful whenever assistance is needed. Overall, it’s a solid plugin that simply gets the job done without making things complicated.

   I’ve been using this plug-in for a few years now, and it works flawlessly. Does exactly what it’s supposed to do, exactly what I need to do. I use it to send out email notifications for every new post I make. It staggers the sending of the messages, so they don’t get labeled as spam and blocked. I know there’s even more functionality that I haven’t used. So, this is a great plug-in. Don’t even hesitate to try it out. I encountered a small hiccup recently and the support team couldn’t have been more helpful. They dug up their sleeves and worked tirelessly to determine the root cause of the error (which wasn’t even the plug-ins fault), and identified the issue and provided the resolution. As soon as I implemented their fix, the emails immediately started sending again. Their communication was top notch and very easy to understand. I truly appreciate customer service that goes above and beyond expectations. Thank you again!
