of downloads still active
At least 3K of 88.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,268 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 1 release 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.

Can’t even configure the font. You want people to buy this c’mon. I understand you put work into this but the very important features are missing. Overlay color cannot be configured, Font for content unable to configure. Add more features for serious designers. This won’t work.
