Notification – Custom Notifications and Alerts for WordPress

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 · 71% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 just doesn’t work: review notification content is empty, sell notifications doesn’t appears at all. I’m asking the real human support but only chat bot helps me. This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by adeemon322. Reason: Change mind

   It took me only minutes to set up and add notifications. Admin settings are easily managed. Much better than competition.

   All worked fine for years and now the plugin is completely useless: I can´t send any web hooks anymore. Also the announcement link at the update notes doesn´t work.

   I installed this plugin to disable admin emails (e.g., for new user creation, password resets, etc.). Unfortunately, I’m still getting at least the new user created emails, and I also can’t disable the emails about plugin updates.

   I was using another plugin and it stopped working suddenly. I then was super happy to find your plugin which works without any hassle! Thanks, keep it up!

   This is a great plugin and well worth every star they get. It has a lot of features straight out of the box and will cover a LOT of use-cases, however the Pro plugins that are available take it even further. This was exactly the solution we were looking for 👍 Highly recommend.
