Ultimate Addons for Elementor – Widgets, Templates, WooCommerce & Header Footer Builder

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 · 31% 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.

A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

Reviewers keep praising fast, responsive support and the plugin's lightweight feel, with just one older review complaining about bloat and ads in the free version.

   It’s incredibly lightweight. I used another Elementor addon before, but even enabling just one or two widgets made the editor laggy and frustrating to use. UAE, however, is extremely light and smooth. I was a bit worried at first because it has fewer widgets, but it actually has all the essential ones you truly need. Their support team responds very quickly too. Highly recommended!

   Really good plugin for elementor. Made building my landing page so much faster cz the widgets r exactly what I needed. Minus 1 star bc the settings r a bit overwhelming at first, but def worth it.
