Biggest opportunity: Swap “manager newsletter” and “newsletter” for “email delivery” and “mail delivery”. “manager newsletter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “email delivery” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “newsletter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mail delivery” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.7%

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,296 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 2 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.

    I was having problems with contact forms on client sites not sending. This plugin is so simple to use and works perfectly! I signed up with the free version just to test it, but I’m planning to buy an account and use it for all my client contact forms. Great job!
