Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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.

    although not the easiest learning curve (the shortcode can be a really pain in the ass), with the good service of a paid subscription of the owner, its a real fine grained solution to add charts to your gravity form.

    Easy to add and customize. They look very professional and have a high visual impact.

    The plugin is easy to use with the shortcodes and it offers all types of configurations. It really helps to visualize the data you collected from Gravity form. I had an issue with a multiselect field that wouldn’t display, but the Maxicharts support fixed the problem very quickly and made an update. Totally worth it.

    I’ve used this for both its Gravity Forms and CSV integration on different sites, and it’s been great to use. It would be nice to have an add-on for allowing datasets to be managed directly on the site (without needing to edit/upload/replace CSV files directly) in the future. Otherwise, I think this is an absolute great start!
