Biggest opportunity: “custom shipping rates”, “e commerce solutions” and “shipping by city” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 11.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,175 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Could have more features like a frontend dropdown for the cities, but does the Job.

Hello, Thanks for plugin. It’s almost what i need, just from different side. Now, example, when i choosing one city, it’s making just one city shipping possibilities. But, i need additional shipping method, if choosing that one city, not delete another. So, need not remove shipping method, but add additional.

I couldn’t make it work with WordPress 5.4.1 and WooCommerce 4.1.0. Theres no way to specify “all cities” or “the rest”. Also naming one by one, WooCommerce doesn’t recognize cities when selected in the checkout page, and so it doesn’t show the proper shipping option. I had to do it by hand
