Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form 7”, “notifications” and “text message” for “order sms”, “sms messages” and “woocommerce sms”. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “order sms” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notifications” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sms messages” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “text message” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce sms” sits at #13 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 →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 21.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 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 16 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.

Really like this plugin! works great in woocommerce and the support also amazing. Many thanks
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dniezby9.3y ago
Another Texting plugin that is absolutely useless in the US. In order for this to work, you need to purchase a texting plan from texting provider. Well, what sense does that make? If I wanted to do that, I would just send texts from there. The idea of the app is great. It’s just poorly implemented. Considering that ALL mobile carriers have a free method of sending text messages to them, you would think that someone would just build an app that uses the email to SMS method.
