Biggest opportunity: Swap “spreadsheet” and “table” for “data table” and “data”. “spreadsheet” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “data table” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “table” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “data” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 70K of 3M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,265 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 15 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “spreadsheet” and “table” for “data table” and “data”. “spreadsheet” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “data table” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “table” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “data” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “spreadsheet”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “table”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

It is an outstanding plugin and outstanding support! I’ve tried several alternatives, but nothing compares to the ease of use and reliability this tool provides. The team is incredibly responsive and genuinely cares about their users’ success. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a top-tier solution that actually delivers on its promises.

I’m really impressed with Ninja Tables! Not only are the tables fantastic in terms of functionality and design, but the customer service is top-notch. I encountered an issue with images not displaying correctly on my website, and I reached out to their support team. They responded quickly and worked with me to resolve the issue efficiently. The entire experience was seamless, and I’m beyond happy with the level of service I received. Highly recommend!

I had an issue that was not caused by the plugin itself but rather by the server. The support helped me find the cause, and we were able to fix it.Great support, true professionals, and very fast.

Ninja Tables performs beautifully. Easy Google Sheet integration with the ability to style beautiful tables on my WordPress site. No other plugin even comes close to second. This topic was modified 5 months, 2 weeks ago by Grace.

Using it to connect to Google Sheets. Good video support, but the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I like the speed and low overhead. Not so good with padding and margins. Exporting data is also a weak point.

After using Excel for free for so long, I was initially hesitant to pay for a table plugin like this. But honestly, it turned out to be a decision I don’t regret at all. First of all, this table is fast. Compared to other similar plugins, it handles large-scale data imports with impressive speed. And most importantly—the design is gorgeous. With the Pro version, you can tweak detailed settings, apply custom CSS/JS, and build a table that looks and feels just right. I also reached out via the website chat, and the support team responded quickly by email. They even wrote custom JS for me and solved the issue right away. Super satisfied!
