WPFomo

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 · 95% 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.

   I’m using WP FOMO on a couple of websites now, and I really cannot see how they insist that Notification X is a better plugin. On WP FOMO you just input your field items, publish, and away it goes! On Notification X you need to jump through a few hoops, there are no options to add your own field items, and on publishing – it MIGHT show your item, but it probably won’t. If someone could explain why Notification X is better, please send a postcard.

   This is a cool and amazing plugin. However, I notice it usage cannot be limited to a page or post. Is there a way to make it appear on a selected post or page on a wordpress blog or site?
