Biggest opportunity: “google reviews”, “product reviews” and “social proof” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 2.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 27 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #25,300 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Brands By Sage6mo ago
I had been patching together review tools for years and none of them felt quite right for my store. Trustie changed that. It handles everything: star ratings, review request emails, Google Reviews, schema markup, and it does it cleanly, without a monthly subscription hanging over my head. The fact that it is self-hosted and I fully own my data matters more to me than I expected it to. My customers see polished, trust-building social proof, and I am not feeding that data into someone else’s ecosystem. It is exactly what a WooCommerce store needs.

well designed and great looking testimonial app- perfect for creating user trust by showing social proof!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ melissalove6mo ago
I’ve used quite a few testimonial plugins over the years, and this is one of the easiest to get up and running properly. What I really like is that it brings everything into one place. You can collect testimonials directly on your site and also pull in your Google reviews, which saves a lot of faff and makes it easy for clients to keep their social proof up to date. The layouts are clean and flexible without needing loads of tweaking, and it’s easy to customize rather than looking like a clunky add-on. One thing worth mentioning is how responsive Sarah (the developer) is. It’s clear she really cares about the plugin and the people using it, which makes a big difference, especially with a newer tool. Overall, it’s a really solid option if you want something simple, well thought out, and genuinely useful. It’s a great alternative to all of the Saas-based options out there.
