Email Subscribers & Newsletters – Email Marketing, Post Notifications & Newsletter Plugin for WordPress

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 · 54% 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.

   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!
