Biggest opportunity: Swap “chat”, “live chat” and “livechat” for “free live support”, “live chat support” and “live support chat”. “chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “free live support” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “live chat support” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “livechat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “live support chat” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.6%

of downloads still active

At least 500 of 86.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 629 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Estimated active installs

The public count shows “500+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate
500–600 ≈580

Crossed into this band 55 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 600.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

13 of the last 20 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

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.

    I need something which I can manually include (or exclude) on a per post basis. This plugin as far as I could understand doesn’t allow this, so for me it’s pretty much useless. Additionally, as far as I could see, it’s not possible to chose fonts in the chat system.

    I run a real estate portal and need a chat for over 300 agents. Also to set the rules that particular agent will be showing to the particular page. Live supporti could provide all of that and much much more. It works perfectly! Great support as well, answered all my questions and assisted me even at the weekend. Highly recommended!
