Email Marketing Plugin – WP Email Capture

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 68% 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.

   Temporary addresses that not have been confirmed yet: There is just the option to delete them. You cannot see them and there´s no possibility to resend them the confirmation email, or even resend that mail automatically after x hours of not confirming. Infusionsoft doesn’t have this problem!

   This app worked well for months–no complaints. And then… I had multiple sites crash thanks to this plugin. I had to disable from the backend without access to my wordpress dashboard. No fun.
