GoSMTP – SMTP for WordPress

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 · 47% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   As other user said – simple and just works. No overkill with any ads that make it near impossible to use unless you get pro. We also use on reseller platforms for wordpress hosting and it works beautifully for business license. Software bundle makes it worth having. Thanks for a good plugin and not being overkill with your pro features leaving some value in your freemium plugins – perfect for start ups or beginners.

   A simple SMTP plugin that just works. it’s easy to setup and configure. Unlike a lot of the more popular SMTP plugins, it doesn’t clutter your dashboard with useless menus that are only there to upsell their pro version. Thanks for the great plugin 🙂

   I’ve been using the SMTP integration from your plugin and it’s rock solid. Emails are delivered instantly and I no longer deal with missing form submissions. Super reliable and easy to set up.

   The main description of the plugin makes it sound like Gmail is an available option, only it (and several others) are NOT unless you buy the premium version. If you’re going to offer versions, at least be up front about who can have what.
