Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

17 of the last 24 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 9 of those landed between 2020-03-16 and 2020-04-14.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    If you want to use this plugin straight out of the box without modifications it is OK. But if you want to customize it, forget it. There is very little user friendly things to customize in admin. If you are a coder, there are no hooks, few short codes, poor documentation, and strange integration with woo. None of the woo mods I used actually worked with the plugin because it uses its own templates and overrides that doesn’t include woo tie ins. As an example if you get the extra tabs plugin or discussions one it will not work. It ties into the billing system somewhat but it is did not live up to hype of being fully integrated and functional with Woo because it is most definitely not. Rewards were limited and couldn’t be variables (like if you want to have shirts in your campaign). Support was slow and poor. I tried for a month to get this thing to work. Going back and forth from support (1/10) gave a response that was helpful. Documentation is light. I scrapped this whole plugin and just went with woo, woo mods, and a bit of php. So if you want to use the features they have and not change anything. Go for it. If you want to create a customized crowdfunding solution for your client. Skip it and just use woo and it’s mods. Maybe a few Advanced Custom Fields. You will get a much better result that is supported well and reliable.

    I inquired about a clarification on the system and they got back to me right away! The support for the system modification was perfectly done and very helpful. It was the best support I have ever had. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

    Purchased a pro lifetime license – big mistake. Months and months without critical bug fixes. Support very slow to respond. No real development.

    Muy bueno el pluing, solo que el coste es muy elevado cuando es para una campaña personal.
