Textmetrics

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 · 93% 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 tool itself is great, with lots of great features which I was able to benefit via the AppSumo deal. It’s very intuitive and the interface is simple and easy to get the hang of. The biggest bug bear for me is every time I log into my WordPress site, I keep having to also log into the app which is a nuisance. I don’t have those issues with other apps that I have log-ins for.

   I bought the premium version of WebTextTool on AppSumo and upgraded when they ran their promo. I find them worth every single cent, especially with new features like the Text Conversion Optimizer. Mind you, I’m also on Yoast Premium
