Simple Newsletter Plugin – Noptin

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 · 48% 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.

   It looks ok, but it isn’t ready for prime time yet, IMO.The layout on the plugin’s dashboard is broken (tutorial section has no line breaks), the email signup works, but the user doesn’t get a response if it was successful or not (unless you create a redirection to a confirmation page). Over all it leaves the impression of a beta version. But still, it’s a functional and free plugin. So that’s something to appreciate.

   I use the plugin to keep our subscribers informed about our concert schedules. The support team responds quickly and adequately to questions and comments. Happy with this plugin and the people behind it!

   I hate and loathe poorly designed plugins. It has not been tested, and having to hack a plugin to get it to work as expected, though now normal practice nowadays, results in 1 star. Don’t publish pieces of crap.
