Event Monster – Event Manager, Event Booking, Event Ticket & Registration

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 · 44% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

12 of the last 17 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   Tried the free version then went for the added features of the paid version. It is exactly what it says and the support service that comes with it, is excellent. I had a database issue which stopped the Add in, (database error was nothing to do with the add in) but the support staff fixed it. Brilliant service.

   When you create an event with limited tickets, after reaching the limit and some are deleted from the back-end, the form does not allow registering even when tickets have been deleted. Also, sometimes the form allows you to reserve tickets after reaching the limit.

   Incredibly simple and convenient free event management plugin for any WordPress sites. The plugin is absolutely responsive – it works equally well on any devices – PC, tablets, smartphones. Also for me it was important to have all the data about visitors in a single list – and this plugin copes well with this.
