Steady for WordPress

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.

At the current install trend, crossing 700+ in roughly 516 days.

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.

   We only used the plugin for a short time (we don’t have paywalls on our website) but essentially it did everything it should

   Grundsätzlich ist das Plugin ja nur dazu da, Steady mit der WordPress-Installation zu verbinden und z. B. die Paywall in Artikeln via Button einzubinden. Das funktioniert auch reibungslos und ohne großartigen Setup-Aufwand.

   Die Abrechnung dürfte noch etwas transparenter werden, da man die Transaktionskosten nicht wirklich nachvollziehen kann. Sonst vollkommen zufrieden. Es hat uns und unseren Lesern geholfen.

   Steady is a platform that enables independent publishers to create revenue through memberships. With this plugin it’s easy to integrate it into a wordpress website. Works great, never had any issues.

   My review was removed. I was describing in what way this plugin sucked, but I guess that doesn’t belong in a review section. No explanation then. This plugin simply sucks. I cannot warn future users in what way it sucks. You must guess it yourself. I do not need support. If I wanted support, I would have emailed Steady. This is an actual review.

   Das Plugin ist quasi unbrauchbar, wenn man nicht nur eine Domain auf dem WP betreibt. Komischer Weise ist der Button jetzt auf JEDER Domain eingebunden. Und ich fänd es auch irgendwie eleganter, wenn man die Einstellungen im WP machen könnte und nicht auf der Steadywebsite.

   I love Steady and it does the job for us. But I’ve been trying to get some assistance and I’ve been waiting for days now and I still haven’t received any support whatsoever on different channels (email, Facebook, here).
