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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I’ve been looking for a samples plugin that works properly for years and couldn’t find it until I found this one.I tried it a while ago and it had several problems, but after the latest updates they have developed all the shortcomings it had.I have a store that needs several specific functionalities and the support team has helped me with each and every one of them very quickly.

   The free version is almost useless. I want to send sample for some products on my site, not all products: you need to manually select each product (category selection only in pro license). I want my customers to pay full price for sample (they get one sample instead of 10 customized products): you cannot set the full price of each product, you can only set a FLAT rate for all samples (percentage of the product sampled -which you can set to 100% i guess, to charge full price for sample- is in paid license). I have a “minimum quantity” plugin already installed: both plugins don’t work “together”. Shipping rates and classes only in pro license.
