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

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. 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.

   While there is a learning curve if you’re coming from a plugin like “Webcomic”, what’s here is a very solid foundation for what can ultimately be THE webcomic plugin for most artists moving forward. The developer is very open to reasonable feature suggestions and seems to always be thinking of ways to improve the plugin and it’s companion theme. Recommended.

   Recently migrated to Toocheke from Comic Easel. The theme worked easily for me in terms of formatting my archive and for posting new comics (I post a 2×2 grid of images), plus works with other plugins I continue to use. Theme/plugin author has answered my questions promptly and offered me help when I ran into issues — the level of support amazes me.

   Idk if I’m doing anything wrong but I only get critical errors when I try to post a comic.

   Migrating over from Comic Easel was quick and easy. To use the plugin without the theme, use the short codes. There is now even support for multiple comics (called series when a separate navigation is needed) with the short codes. Recommended!

   Only catch is that you need the Toocheke theme to get it to work. Otherwise I am absolutely loving it!

   The companion plugin itself is a cool solution to webcomics on wordpress that I had high hopes for. The plugin works and has a ton of helpful options. I especially like the compatibility with the newer comic formats as well as the more traditional ones as well as the ability to have multiple series running on one site. However, the theme required to make the companion work is a deal-breaker. The theme isn’t particularly flexible and is locked in to a few preset layouts with limited ability to adjust things – especially regarding comic navigation. If this were to be released as a standalone plugin without needing to tie into a specific theme I’d swap in a heartbeat. Until then, I’ll stick with other options.

   Great plugin for publishing webcomics/webtoons/comics on your WordPress theme. Can only work with the Toocheke theme though!
