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 · 36% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I needed to show a couple of beautiful grids in my website, I got it with the premium version. I think I am going to enjoy more options soon.

   Been looking for an all-in-one plugin for rotating my advertisements within categories, found this plugin when working on another project and it surprised me with how simple and effective it is. Arranging my page to have content peppered with relevant images and media, the slider fits in perfectly between content blocks and attracts a lot of clicks. Being able to sort by category, tag, ID and more is a great feature and makes featuring a multitude of products a breeze. I initially had a few questions on functionality and the SovWare team responded right away to my emails. Can’t stress enough how nice it is to have a support team that actually helps its customers quickly rather than letting your support email sit for 2 weeks before answering it. Great products, great team.
