Waitlist Woocommerce ( Back in stock notifier )

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

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This is precisely what we needed for the sold-out products on our page and to have a good customer retention rate. The Support with my issues, including it on a single product page built with Elementor, was perfect. I just mentioned the issue, and I immediately received feedback. Two days later, the problem was solved by a new version. Thanks a lot again

   I spent the last few hours testing various “waitlist” plugins for woocommerce and I can save you some time by telling you this is the very best one. It looks great, you can tell it was created by a developer at the top of his game, and it provides tons of well thought out styling and other options.Better yet, when I needed support, I received great support almost immediately. Highly recommended!

   As the review title says, everything is spot on. It’s not that often that plugin just works without you having to run laps around it – I was pleasantly surprised. I had a question, emailed support and almost immediately received a reply. Kudos to the developer, please keep up the good work!
