Grow 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 · 99% 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 concept of this plugin is awesome: it does a bunch of things that helps your site get more signups and engagement. But it falls very short. First of all, the inline subscription form is UGLY. I mean, uglier than ugly. There isn’t a way to change it without complicated Javascript, either, because the CSS is hidden behind a shadow root. And even then, they use a bunch of random letters to confuse you, with, what I swear are ghost letters just so you have absolutely no idea how to change the CSS. Sorry, but the CSS should be extremely easy to change. And when the plugin says it uses your theme’s color settings? Lies. It’s hard-coded in. Did I mention it was ugly? Don’t make the mistake of signing up on your own site to test it out. The form goes away forever. Most of the other stuff has bad documentation. Want to use the exclusive content? You’re just going to have to figure that out for yourself, I’m afraid. At this point, the only reason I keep it is to hook into Google Sitekit to hopefully get approved to the Journey program, although I don’t think that it will make a difference. Please fix this plugin. I love the concept! The execution was terrible!
