AidWP – Donation & Payment Forms (Stripe Powered)

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 · 73% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   What an experience! I waited less than a minute before someone jumped in to help. He checked the plugin immediately, explained exactly what needed to be done and even tested the checkout with his own real card – which actually processed successfully on our end! Everything worked perfectly after that and he also advised on additional settings we could be using to improve how we run the plugin. Honestly, if more support people were like this, the world would be a much better place. Exceptional service, incredibly helpful and genuinely invested in solving the problem. Highly recommend!

   Support was excellent, I had an issue (of my own making turns out) and the developer jumped on chat right away, troubleshooted, and fixed really quick and now it works just fine. Thank you!

   Please, please read this. This plugin is the absolute worst plugin I have ever used. Please take my advice and do not purchase it — you will regret it. Not enough space here to write about all the problems. All these other reviews must be from friends of the developer. Also, there is no recurring donation feature, so what’s the point?
