Poll Maker by AYS – Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Love this plugin !Highly customizable, even with the free version. I have a poll with one question only that has to be asked to +1000 participants at the end of an event. And they have to choose quickly between 4 answers (which coffee did you prefer). With 4 pictures and one press of a button, it is done ! Thank you the developers !

   A very nice, easy to use poll plug-in that has quite a few design options as well. The free version is already pretty flexible and has a lot of things you can adjust, but you can also ignore a lot of it. Polls can be duplicated, so you don’t have to make the edits every time. I went to pro and it’s working really well. The support also fixed a problem I had to make it fit my needs better. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants or needs to do polls regularly.
