YaySMTP – WP Mail SMTP with Email Logs, Tracking & Reports

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 · 75% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This is the ultimate SMTP plugin. It even has email logs, which is a must-have. It’s incredibly easy to use, and the developers are available right away! It’s truly excellent.

   I am very much impressed by their support team. Even though I am not a paid customer yet, they support me to configure the plugin by remote desktop, once I was facing some issues to configure it properly.

   Super easy to set up. Their customer support is great, and the free email logs (a feature that usually costs extra in other plugins) are a huge bonus.

   This works great with AWS SES. It has just the right options, including tracking opens and clicks. Support was instant and thorough when I needed it. I really appreciate these devs and their work. I previously purchased a competitor for $250/year/single site and stopped that. That’s astronomically ridiculous for a comparable plugin. Everyone needs this plugin and a solid transactional email service for their WP site.
