MainWP Dashboard: Self-hosted WordPress Management for Agencies

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 · 65% 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.

   Things were solved, system is great and they fixed the issues, I rest my case, thumbs up to Bojan from the support! >Basic things like Google Analytics integration and Search Integration not working, we tried to buy a test month, but support answering time is awfull. First solution they send was a down grade of the plugin and they asked if it worked, not very serious. This topic was modified 2 months ago by Thomas Reinholdt.

   Saves me a lot of time – should have moved to MainWP much earlier.

   I really wanted to give this plugin a chance, but in the end I just wasted my time.I prepared a local installation for safety reasons – after computer upgrade, it stopped working despite importing the database and files from old one.OK, I understand, I can set it up again, I’ll export and import the data. Unfortunately, import pages doesn’t work, so I have no choice but to reconfigure over 50 pages… It should save me time, but if I have to managed this one and check if updates are working on my clients – I will back to log in individually.
