WP Keys Giveaway

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Because of the reviews claiming this was broken, I didn’t expect it to work, but I’ve used it to run a key giveaway successfully on a live site already and am really happy — it saved me money from having someone code one for me. Note that I have been using the tickboxes for IP lock but NOT restricting it to logged in users. I would love to see the admin icon/menu prettified and streamlined.

   Although this plugin does what it says it does, it is vulnerable. I started a giveaway with 500 keys, and 400 of these keys were suddenly snatched by one person with the same IP address. Yes, I didn’t limit it to one IP address, but it should still be limited to one key per user ID. I’m not sure if they were intentionally stolen or if it’s a bug with the plugin, but it’s making it unusable in its current condition.
