SpeakOut! Email Petitions

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 · 69% 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 free version is very full featured. You’ll be able to run a petition/campaign with no issues. For our use, we wanted people to be able to edit the petition/letter before sending, that is a pro feature. The license was very, very reasonable. The developer was very responsive to questions.

   Absolutely amazing as a free plugin. The environmental group I built a site for needed public email petitions, and it fills the bill. They moved their main site to SquareSpace but keep a separate WP site just to retain SpeakOut’s functionality.

   I’ve had the plugin installed for almost a year and never used it until last week. This plugin is GREAT!!! We have been able to send over 800 emails in 4 days, and the plugin performed flawlessly. My only complaints are: There should be a way to sort signatures by the opt-in and download just the opt-in signers to a csv to import the opt-in users to a subscription system easily. Currently, we need to edit the CSV file before uploading the users into our subscription system. The plugin is not very good-looking and requires a lot of CSS to style. Ofcorese, this is necessary for any plugin with a user frontend, and I would have done it anyway, so not an issue for me. One user did have a problem with Rcapacha that was never figured out, and he couldn’t get it to approve his submission. Maybe Rcapacha was doing its job? Anywho, five stars for giving us a way to voice our opinion. Thank you! I’ll be making a generous donation. Where do I send it? This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by azbce.
