Biggest opportunity: Swap “billing” for “estimate”. “billing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “estimate” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 70 of 7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 1 release 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
- Swap “billing” for “estimate”. “billing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “estimate” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “estimates”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I am not sure what the bad review was about. This was amzingly easy to use from setup to implementation. Has saved me a TON of time and works better than I could have imagined.

Absolute waste of time. It doesn’t do anything at all. It’s funny that the only positive review is written by the author. He should be ashamed of himself. Also, before writing this review, I’ve posted a support ticket and it has been over 2 days and still no response from the dev team. This just shows gross incompetence of the author or the dev team. Just don’t waste your time on this.

I’m the author of the plugin so I guess I get to rate the plugin first, sorry if you wanted that privilege for yourself. Anyway, I worked really hard to make receiving estimates and invoices easy. Hopefully you like this integration for Gravity Forms and Sprout Invoices. If not please let me know. This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by Dan Cameron.
