of downloads still active
At least 500 of 10.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,174 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 20 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “save favorites” (#11 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “500+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 500.
At the current install trend, crossing 600+ in roughly 51 days.

Does all I need and more – Perfect!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ XLPlugins5mo ago
Set this up on a client store and it’s been smooth ever since. Took me maybe 20 minutes to get going and I didn’t have to touch any code, which I really appreciated. Had a quick question early on and the support team got back to me really fast. Does what it says and doesn’t slow anything down.

Killed the server so badly. Was pricey to fix. 🙁

We had a real tough time with Wishlist functionality on our store about a year ago due to poor performing options on the market back then.Recently we had to look at adding Wishlisting back on our site due to customer demand and the top recommended plugin was still the same one that caused massive issues on our site back then.However after asking around we were pointed to SaveTo Wishlist as a newer option on the market – and oh my. We were sold from their clear emphasis on performance, speed and simplicity.We tested their early release on our site and had some feedback with their team very promptly addressed and have already updated. This plugin has an excellent support team and very active development and is an absolute joy to deal with – we’re very excited to see the remaining features implemented and beyond happy with the performance, intuitive simplicity and features on the pro version. Couldn’t ask for more from an ecommerce Wishlisting plugin.

The plugin is easy to configure and customize, and it delivers very good results.We found some bugs, but the support team identified them and will provide a fix — that’s what makes this a truly high-quality plugin.It does exactly what it is supposed to do. A very capable plugin — good job.

If you’re moving your stores over to the newer WooCommerce block based themes, this plugin fits right in. I’m pretty picky about bloat and legacy code slowing down my sites, but this feels lightweight and modern. It plays nicely with the block editor, which saves me from digging through shortcodes. Definitely a solid choice if you want something that won’t break your site’s performance.

Lightweight and reliable. Highly recommend it to any WooCommerce store owner looking for a clean wishlist solution.

This plugin is useless. It’s completely terrible and full of bugs.
