Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce sales” and “social proof” for “live sales” and “popup gdpr”. “woocommerce sales” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “live sales” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “social proof” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “popup gdpr” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.5%

of downloads still active

At least 30K of 2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 26 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.

    I had an issue with NotificationX on my WordPress/WooCommerce website, where the purchase notifications were not showing correctly. I contacted support and Michelle helped me a lot with solving the problem. I really want to say a big thank you to Michelle for the patience, clear explanations, and real support. The communication was friendly, helpful, and professional, and thanks to the guidance I was able to get everything working again. NotificationX is a very useful plugin for showing social proof, recent sales, and building trust on a website. But what I appreciate even more is the support behind it. Thank you again, Michelle — I really appreciate your help! Highly recommended.

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Loren for the outstanding support she provided.In all my years of dealing with customer support teams across different companies, I can honestly say that I have never come across someone as dedicated, patient, and genuinely helpful as Loren. She spent nearly three hours assisting me with setting up and troubleshooting notifications on my website, and she remained professional, knowledgeable, and committed throughout the entire process.What impressed me most was that she never made me feel rushed. She carefully walked me through every step, answered every question, and stayed focused until everything was working exactly as it should. It is rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work and genuinely cares about the customer’s success.Loren is an absolute gem and a tremendous asset to NotificationX. The level of dedication and customer care she demonstrated deserves special recognition.And to Loren’s manager, if you happen to be reading this review, please take note of the incredible value she brings to your team. Employees like Loren are rare. She represents your company in the best possible way, and if anyone deserves recognition, appreciation, or a promotion, it is certainly her.Thank you once again, Loren. Your patience, expertise, and commitment made a lasting impression on me. I wish you all the success and happiness in your career. NotificationX is truly fortunate to have you on their team.

    A plugin that’s both powerful and easy to use. NotificationX holds its own against other social proof tools on the market, and the Pro version is very reasonably priced. Support is responsive and efficient, a real plus when you manage your site on your own. Highly recommended.

    We reviewed several platforms before selecting BetterDocs, and it clearly stood out. Multiple Knowledge Base allows us to organize documentation professionally, Instant Answers improves support speed, and Advanced Analytics helps us understand what users need most. It is user-friendly and powerful at the same time. Based on our evaluation, we chose the Lifetime Agency plan for better scalability and long-term investment.
