Event Calendar by Timely

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

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.

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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I have been using this plugin for over 10 years and it works really well, displays nicely as an embedded calendar on the frontend and adding events is super easy even for the intrepid WordPress user. I recommend this plugin and thank the developers for their time.

   I signed up for a free account, then 6 months later they discontinue all free accounts and automatically opt me in to a paid account but I miss the email. I contact support for a refund and they gave me one. This topic was modified 5 months, 1 week ago by tyeshutty. This topic was modified 5 months, 1 week ago by tyeshutty.

   This plugin is a bait and switch. It claims to be free, but the moment you install it you’re forced to hand over a credit card just to get started. Only then do you discover it’s a 30-day trial, not a free product. This is deliberately misleading and a complete waste of time. If you’re going to charge, be upfront about it. Don’t lure users in with false claims of “free” only to lock them behind a paywall after installation.
