Biggest opportunity: Swap “event calendar”, “event registration” and “event tickets” for “attendee management”, “rsvps” and “recurrence”. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “attendee management” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event registration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rsvps” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event tickets” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recurrence” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 10K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 70 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “event calendar”, “event registration” and “event tickets” for “attendee management”, “rsvps” and “recurrence”. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “attendee management” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event registration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rsvps” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event tickets” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recurrence” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “rsvp”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

It’s just well thought out! It’s very easy to setup an event page and configure it how you want. The interface is clear and simple, and everything is built on top of Gutenberg, which gives it a nice native experience. The support is also awesome! I noticed a bug, and it was resolved within hours with a new update!! Ah yes, and no overly intrusive prompts to make you buy the premium version (the cherry on the cake)

I’m definitely using EventKoi for all my upcoming event calendar needs. The setup wizard was quick and the whole interface is intuitive. The pages load fast and error free. The author looks to be creating a simple, clutter free alternative to the existing ones and seems to be getting it right.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ John Hawkins11mo ago
Simple, clean, and easy to use. Enough features to make it flexible, but not so many features that the add/edit screen feels overwhelming. Immediately became my new favorite calendar plugin!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Fransisca H12mo ago
Even though the WP event plugins market is packed, I find EventKoi’s interface to be simple, beautiful, and designed with the block-based editor in mind. Yet, it still has short-code support, so the classic theme can use it. The support team also responds to inquiries promptly. I received a reply within an hour after posting a bug report on the plugin forum, and within a week, they had a patch released.

EventKoi Lite is simply amazing! The setup was effortless, and the interface feels clean and modern. I love how lightweight yet feature-rich it is — creating and displaying events has never been smoother. The performance and design both stand out. Definitely one of the best event plugins I’ve used on WordPress!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jeffro1.0y ago
EventKoi Lite is the new kid on the block when it comes to event plugins in WordPress. While many of the old school plugins have years of technical debt, EventKoi is a fresh start. It’s block-based first with support for shortcodes. Creating events is easy and straightforward. The user interface is a breeze to use and fits right in with the WordPress backend. Every free plugin seems to have an upsell to a pro version. This one is no exception. However, unlike many other plugins, the upsell here is done in a tasteful way. Overall, this product is a joy to use and it’s only just getting started. I’m looking forward to seeing what this becomes in the next few years.
