Motors VIN Decoder

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 · 96% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Great VIN plugin. Seems to work well so far and code is lightweight. It passes Googles CWV lighthouse tests with scores in the 90s+. Going to try the Pro version soon! See their demo to test for yourself on their website. Seems like a lot of the other comments are having trouble with 3rd party resources.

   I paid for the premium on this plugin and it still takes 4 or 5 days for a response. The plugin pulls info from the sources, but doesn’t populate anything with the information. This plugin, and the associated templates need a LOT of work before they would be worth any money. I asked for a refund, and guess what? Never heard back.

   Vin decoder worked fine for a while then it stopped. I am using it in a automotive theme from Gorilla themes. I have contacted Gorilla themes numerous time over months no support no answers no help whatsoever. I paid for premium support from WordPress the support people could not figure it out either also reached out to Gorilla themes to no avail. I even bought a new theme from Gorilla themes still doesn’t work still no support. I believe my problem is with gorilla themes not necessarily the Vin decoder. regardless the site doesn’t work and there’s no support. I would have expected more from WordPress in so far as they are selling these products with no support. Very disappointed
