Portfolio by BestWebSoft – Work and Projects Presentation Plugin 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

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.

   I hate to give someone’s work a 1 star. But your free plugin is useless and ugly. Among all the customize options in the plugin, free version has ONE option available. This is not free at all. You should add customization options on free version, or just remove your free version and make it PRO, and don’t waste our time. Best wishes.

   Плагин с уродливыми демоданными, почему-то, с украинским языком в админке вместо русского, невнятными настройками, но с манией разработчиков под отдельное меню для своих поделок.

   Installed this plugin and wasn’t happy with the styling, since it is not using the same styling as the rest of the site. Sent a help request and my problem was solved within 24 hours. Great service, really happy with it, gonna use it multiple times!

   This plugin is adware. Main functions (like a category) inaccessible in free version. So free version is not working. It only needed to advertise premium version. That is adware. Deleted after 10 sec.
