Biggest opportunity: “discounts” and “promotions” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

0.8%

of downloads still active

At least 400 of 53.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 5 releases 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.

    Have been using the BOGO plug-in for almost 5 years and it continues to amaze us what it offers. Occasionally we had issues implementing a promotion exactly how we wanted it, and each time Pimwick replied immediately, providing the solution of even a custom patch for our problem. Highly recommend this plug-in.

    Pro version is highly recommended! As an expert, I can definitely recommend this plugin to anyone! Either limited tech skills, or a super-pro, as it was so easy to very quickly create a BOGO/50% off sale on multiple products WITHOUT going into any of the products to set anything up. All the rules are done in the plugin settings. The software is so simple, you will not need documentation. I was busy and my wife set it up for my client in about 10 min. Great job Pimwick!

    Surprisingly useless plugin though advertising is well done. The free version is just to test one BOGO type for all products. On the top of it, it does not work with up to date WordPress. No sign of of BOGO in the cart and it’s no way to adjust anything. To get Pro version you have to pay 60 USD in hope that it will work. What a shame!

    Free version works like -50% coupon, which I can create in WOO by myself and with much more customization that this “pugin”.
