How it's measured →12%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 84.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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.
This plugin shipped 17 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.

I can’t fault the team behind SureContact. Their support to get the new SureContact SMTP service up and running was superb and the service works like a dream.

I’ve been a SureContact customer right from the start and have seen just how quickly the SureContact team has implemented requests for new features and new functions. The support is also really, really good. I’d definitely recommend them!

Surecontact’s speed and eagerness to provide support to it’s users is refreshing and will continue to make me recommend them to others. Pair that with an easy-to-use interface and it makes unbeatable!

I did get extended support again on making my profile update section synced with SureContact. They provided excellent service and besides that I have made the right decision to move from FluentCRM to SureContact to avoid an annual subscription while utilizing a great platform. Keep up the good work!

We were having issues creating a link to Mailgun via API. Surecontact customer support quickly investigated and found that the problem was down to us using Mailgun EU servers. They promised to fix it within 3-4 days but actually did it in 2 days and it now works 100%. Gives you confidence when issues are dealt with quickly.

An incredible tool constantly evolving with a team that provides real support; I highly recommend it.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Steven7mo ago
Before using SureContact, I often worried about server performance and database loads caused by heavy cronjobs from traditional marketing plugins. Since making the switch, my server load has significantly decreased. I currently use a single master list with a tag-driven architecture, integrating SureCart and SureTriggers to manage funnels and segmentation across my own site and a client project. The UI is highly intuitive, which drastically reduces the time spent on daily management. A major plus is that I no longer need to log into the WordPress backend for every single task. What impresses me the most is the development team. During my intensive testing and implementation of automation workflows, they quickly fixed reported bugs and actively rolled out user-suggested features, such as the recent full custom domain support. It is a well-structured CRM solution with immense potential. Highly recommended for developers and site owners who value server performance and automation flexibility.
