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

How it's measured →3.0%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 16.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 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 5 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| survey creator your tag | #8 | #19 | down 1 |
| survey maker your tag | #15 | #24 | down 3 |
| drag drop | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| digital signature | #24 | #19 | 0 |
| drag and drop panels | #18 | #23 | 0 |
| form builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| quiz your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| survey your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “form builder” for “drag drop”. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “drag drop” sits at #24 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 “survey maker”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

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!
