Iframely – WP media embeds, cards and blocks

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 · 83% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   At least tell people in the description they have to pay for a monthly subscription fee to use the plugin. Why hide the fact it’s paid one? I installed, tried to figure out why it doesn’t work only to find out it’s a paid thing in the settings. Bloody waste of time.

   Extremely expensive plugin, costs more than most hosting plans. Solved my issue with a few lines of code for free. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, it probably does (no idea because you have to pay to see if it works), but I was really shocked when I found out I had to pay (which I would in many cases) and HOW MUCH. I have a dedicated server at Digital Ocean for less than that money!

   Switched to Iframely on one site because they needed to embed a Facebook video and the other responsive video plugin I was using (ARVE) didn’t support Facebook. Iframely’s responsive scaling is very smooth. I like the clean look and have started using it on other sites as well.

   Does not seem to work with YouTube playlists, although it does work with single youtube videos. Disappointing to come so close.
