Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    The OpenWidget plugin has been a fantastic addition to my WordPress site. It offers a suite of tools that have made managing customer interactions so much easier. The installation was straightforward, and I was able to customize the widgets to fit my website’s design seamlessly. What I love most is how this plugin enhances customer engagement—live chat, FAQs, and contact forms are all included and work flawlessly. It’s clear, easy to use, and has helped me provide better service to my customers. Plus, it’s free! This plugin is a must-have for any website looking to improve its customer service experience.

    They have nice collection of widgets: forms, Google reviews, instagram feed. Free for real, there is no paid plan at all.
