Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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’ve been using Recapture for over a year now. They helped me bring back a few hundred customers to my web-site during this time.Effortless to set up and use. Service support is top-notch.

    We have been using Recapture for a couple of years now and have consistently benefitted from very high cart recovery rates. When we have needed support, it has always been extremely responsive and professional, going the ‘extra mile’ in most cases too. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by piersmcleish.

    I had an issue with my email address not displaying nicely in follow-up emails. Dave provided a fix for me within about 30 mins. Great service.

    I’m a new customer migrating from a platform that is shutting down their services and Dave from Recapture has been the epitome of prompt, professional and knowledgeable support. Further, the technical team was very accommodating. We had a feature request that was important to us and Dave & team implemented it within 2 days of my request. This made the migration process simple for us and so far I am very pleased with the app. Highly recommended.

    After using Jilt for about a year, I switched to Recapture, because Jilt is closing down. I had no idea what I was missing out on, and I wish I knew about Recapture earlier. The support is A+, twice they implemented features I was missing. I don’t know many companies that take even a single feature request seriously, let alone two! The interface shows much more info about your store than you’d expect from a abandoned cart recovery service. The only feature I’m missing is that I’m not able to easily send them rewards e.g. pies, beer and champagne!

    This plugin does it all if you want to recover potential buyers from your abandoned cart. And if you should run into any problems it is backed by fast and attentive customer support. I highly recommend this plugin! This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by Patrick Yepez. This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by Patrick Yepez.
