Live Chat (+ Chatbots) with Slack 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

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.

15 of the last 16 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 14 of those landed between 2019-11-01 and 2019-11-11.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   The application itself is always improving and it’s already one of the best apps for live chat in my books, the features they are adding and integration they have already blows everything else out there out of the water. The plugin is simple to install and works flawlessly. Really can’t say enough about what this is and how every company should be taking advantage of this.

   Super easy to install, super easy to use. And the team over at hybrid.Chat are responsive. I have found that they are always available when I have a random question. If you want to see how the plugin works, just message them on their site. CEO will walk you thru, lol.

   This plugin does it all, intuitive bot automation and human take over, useful free version, and excellent customer support. It also integrates seamlessly into WordPress and the installation process is simple, and immediate. Training bot via spreadsheets is the easiest and most intuitive way I can imagine.
