of downloads still active
At least 3K of 279.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,170 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 1 release 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.

291 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 240 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “sales” and “urgency” (#12 and #14 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

I purchased the paid version of Finale and was pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness of the support team. When I first installed the product, there was an error message stating that the plugin had a conflict with my other plugins and the support team continued to communicate with me until they resolved the conflict and then updated their plugin to ensure that other users would not experience the same issue. I am usually not someone who posts reviews but I promised I would post a review of my experience, as I am very impressed by their level of support so far.
