Biggest opportunity: “marketing”, “notifications” and “popups” 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 40 of 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |

| marketing your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| notifications your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I bought the premium version and support is now unavailable.

A real booster in terms of conversions. We have been working in tandem with Influence for the last 6 months and it has actually helped us in improving the sales and signups. Inspite of the global situation, they have been great with their support and updates. Kudos to the team !! Keep up the good job !!

I have been using Influence since last 7 months and as a marketer it fulfills my need to improve conversion rates for my clients. I have deployed their plugin on 4 of my WP sites & 2 Woocomm stores. Influence has already earned back my money multiple folds. Its amazing to know that its not just a plugin but an entire software tool which you can use to boost conversions. I’m also using their Magento & Shopify plugins for my other customers. Kudos to the Influence team for this amazing product!

Never seen such a bad plugin. I bought the unlimited package but I must admit I am very disappointed. I never got it to work. Support is very bad. Stay away from this.

I found this plugin and tool very useful. It helps me to increase sales of my products. Feature attracts more user to purchase and more trust bound among the customers. Kudos to team.

This review is only with respect to the impact of the plugin and service on website speed, performance and page load time. This plugin adds loads three files from the dev’s server which increase page load time on my site by 900 ms (that’s nearly one full second). It does not support Google Tag Manager. Analytics are important for ecommerce, and a cost/benefit must be done in terms of a service’s impact on site speed versus the insights the analytics provides. On balance, this plugin is far too slow to justify the benefits that the analytics provide.
