Mailgun Subscriptions

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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. 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.

   Exactly what we need and it works smooth. If you want to manage your Mailgun mailing lists, subscribe and unsubscribe via WordPress this is the plugin. I like the features it currently has and it would even be more awesome if it is updated and a sendform is included so you can just send the mailing list via WordPress. Very happy!

   Pity, it actually does the job but I can’t show it to my users in this state. Functitns missing and embarassingly flawed display This topic was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by patbell101.

   Very basic. In fact, a bit too basic, as the emails it sends are straight text. So, the confirmation link is incredibly ugly (it’s three lines long!) and it’s pretty much impossible to create engaging thank you emails, because… Well, it’s all straight text, so links are exposed, there can be no graphics, no lists (ordered or otherwise), and etc. You also have no control over the subject line without using arcane “hooks”. So if you’re a typical, time crunched small business type person, prepare yourself! This is all somewhat disappointing. Still, the plugin is functional and solid. It’s just not very polished.

   Very happy to see more support for Mailgun users who are not PHP developers.
