User Profile Builder – Beautiful User Registration Forms, User Profiles & User Role Editor

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. 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.

   I really appreciate this plugin. I have been using this from 2015. In the time since, I changed, brought in, re-arrranged so many things with other plugins, but PB remained the core piece that I never needed to change. On the few occasions when I needed support, Adrian – you were right there. A huge thank you to everyone on the team, for the work you are doing, because it is one of those invisible pieces that make things work even if no-one on the front end is ever aware of it. And in that quiet, indirect way, changing peoples lives for the better.

   I’ve been using Profile Builder Pro for WordPress for a while now, and overall I’m very pleased with what it offers. It’s a powerful and flexible tool for creating front-end user registration, login, and profile management, and it integrates smoothly into my existing setup. The customization options are excellent, and the plugin has proven to be stable and reliable in day-to-day use. The only drawback for me is that some parts of the UX feel a little outdated. Nothing that affects core functionality, but certain interface elements could benefit from a more modern design and workflow. That said, once you get used to it, everything works as expected. If you’re looking for a dependable user profile and registration solution for WordPress, Profile Builder Pro is a strong choice.
