UsersWP – ReCaptcha

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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 · 100% run the current release. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   It does what it has to do and very simple to use. Worked fine but after a recent update users could no longer login, it threw an error. Noticed this morning there was an update available now, and the update fixed it.

   THIS PLUGIN IS SIMPLY THE BEST. I use this plugin together with their main UersWP plugin. Others would charge expensive for these features. Seriously. I needed 3 plugins just to make a great profile and login but this plugin simplified it all.
