SurveyJS: Drag & Drop Form Builder

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 · 36% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   The functionality, usability and UI of SurveyJS is amazing. However, I encountered too many bugs, which may be due to the low (wordpress plugin) user base so far. One of them resulted in not storing submissions to my form any more … I had to switch back to ninjaforms then. 🙁Also, automatic emails are missing in its functionality, which makes SurveyJS not (yet) a good replacement for ContactForm7, ninjaforms and the likes.The SurveyJS team is friendly and responsive on GitHub, however, which is great. I hope the authors keep up the work, I’d be happy to try this at a later date!

   This plugin provides pretty much exactly what I was looking for! Contains a very easy way of creating a survey with multiple pages, quiz options and more AND also directly creates a database from that survey stored on your webserver. I didn’t check the database in detail yet, but honestly just wanted to thank the dev team for developing this plugin.

   It’s a really nice plugin. Practical and fast to use. I understood quite easily how to work with. Maybe some video learning online are missing to see better how to use it at its most. It’s from far the most complete free tool I’ve tested. Keep up the good work and thank you to make it available on wordpress!
