of downloads still active

At least 40K of 3.5M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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 23 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.

    This is the best Quiz plugin in WP repository. Its free plan is far better than most of other Quiz plugins paid version. The programming support is stellar. It has loads of hooks you can use from outside.

    I am absolutely blown away by the support I received from the QSM team, especially Dhanush. I chose this plugin after a careful review of many options, and it led the way with its quiz options and professional appearance (and built-in email automation!). What I didn’t expect was to receive a level of care and expertise you’d expect from a premium service—and all on their free plugin! I ran into a complex issue where emails were not being sent after the quiz was completed. While I spent hours trying to troubleshoot it myself, the team took over that stress and took the time to identify and fix a deep database error on my site. They were polite, patient, and kept me informed through every step of the process. The plugin itself is fantastic, very easy to set up, and I can’t wait to add the upgraded options to make my fantastic quiz even more powerful. It’s their support, however, that truly makes this plugin stand out. I can’t wait to launch this amazing-looking quiz to the world and build my client’s leads list with it. This is definitely a five-star plugin. If you’re looking for a quiz plugin, look no further!
