How it's measured →3.3%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 1.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 6 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.

Crossed into this band 3 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 40.

I love how easy it is to manage schedules and block out specific weekdays right from the settings. The fact that it counts real-time availability from active carts prevents any double-booking issues. Plus, it’s fully HPOS-compatible, keeping my site running fast. Highly recommended for rentals or appointments!
