Reviews Feed – Add Testimonials and Customer Reviews From Google Reviews, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and More

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Having same issue as below review. Forces you to verify an email address (seems an unnecessary step). Once verified, it forces you through the same process. Each time telling you the email address is already verified. Don’t think there is active support on this app as the last poor review about the same thing was over 5 days ago. Recommending to avoid.

   I confirmed my email, but the plugin thinks its not confirmed. Stuck in a loop. Cant get the free version to work? Definitely not paying for the pro. I’ll find another plugin – thanks. This topic was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by plb1968.

   We use Smash Balloon primarily to display Trustpilot reviews on our main website, and the plugin has worked reliably for our needs. Setup was straightforward and the integration performs as expected. What stood out most was the customer support. Paola was responsive, professional, and proactive in helping us with our renewal. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that backs up its product with responsive and fair support. We’re pleased to continue using Smash Balloon.
