ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling

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 · 100% run the current release. 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   We use this plugin to schedule our volunteer shifts at our sports club. After a short trial period, we decided to buy the pro version because the plugin fits our needs perfectly. The support team for the plugin is fast, responsive and very professional. I honestly can’t recommend this plugin enough.

   This plugin and the developers supporting it are great. When I asked question about the plugin, the developer implemented the feature in my question even though I had not bought the plugin at that point.

   We have been using ShiftController for a couple of months now and love all its features. Being in a diverse leisure environment with over 100 employees, this software manages all staff with ease. We use the Pro version and love all of it’s features. What I can’t praise high enough is the support. We have made a number of requests/suggestions and each of these have been honored and integrated into the system. Thanks very much.
