Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce”, “comparison” and “wpc” for “compare products”, “woocommerce compare” and “product compare”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “compare products” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comparison” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “woocommerce compare” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wpc” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “product compare” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.0%
of downloads still active
At least 70K of 2.3M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,145 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 9 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce”, “comparison” and “wpc” for “compare products”, “woocommerce compare” and “product compare”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “compare products” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comparison” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “woocommerce compare” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wpc” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “product compare” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “wpc”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Patricia Scrafield1.4y ago
I’ve been building my website for a while now and I’ve gone through a lot of shop builders. My site is very product and information dense and one of the issues that I find is that if one has a lot of different kinds of content, they all want to fight for their spot beside the “add to cart” button. So, I built my own buttons. WPClever helped me create both my compare and size charts for these buttons and they were so kind and so helpful and they made it so easy and they provided a full breakdown of the process. their patience and professionalism is second to none and their plugins are clean and easily customizable. They’re worth every single penny. Thanks so much!

Very quick and good support – when I found small security issue, they immediately repaired it and push update the same day 🙂

We bought this plugin and we were happy with all the features. But then struggling with WPML, we reached out to support. The first conversations were very helpful, but after we provided more information, there was no feedback. Now more than 14 days with no feedback. Very sad at this point.

Estoy dejando esta review de forma honesta porque un cliente me pidió esta funcionalidad y no pensaba resolverlo tan rápido. Es un plugin muy completo y brinda muchas opciones con muy buenos diseños. Pienso usar más plugins WPC y espero que sigan haciendo herramientas tan potentes. Felicidades a todo el equipo

I can’t say enough positive things about this plugin and the support staff behind it. When we inquired about enhancements, support was quickly willing to to roll them out. I wish more companies stood behind their products like this one. Thank you again for all of your assistance and for this great comparison tool.
