Koko Analytics – Privacy-Friendly WordPress Analytics

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 · 45% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I reached out to their team with a privacy question and they were extremely polite and helpful. They answered all of my questions promptly and accurately. I wish more companies were this responsive and helpful regarding privacy!

   Amazing plugin that I’ve been using for many years now. Having dabbled with other analytics tools, it’s always refreshing to come back to Koko Analytics and view the essential data. Nothing more, nothing less. Big fan and highly recommended, especially if you’re looking for a more privacy-focused offering than something like GA4.

   Fantastic plugin that does exactly what it says. Privacy conscious and effective. The paid upgrade allows you to track custom events, which is perfect for clients who need more granular tracking and reporting.

   When I was researching an Analytics tool, I downloaded several and Koko was by far the best. I deleted all others right away and stuck with Koko for all my websites. highly recommend.

   I love Koko Analytics for getting basic stats on website traffic. All of the data stays on the server, so I don’t have to worry about privacy issues with big data companies like Google.
