Zlick Paywall

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 11 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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 · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 22 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   On me l’avait fortement conseillé et je n’ai pas été déçu. Bien au contraire. Le paywall Zlick cumule plusieurs avantages: il est robuste, performant tout en restant simple à mettre en place. Pour l’instant aucun bugs contrairement à d’autres. Et aussi pas de paiement mensuel exorbitant, juste un % raisonnable sur les ventes. Parfois on se laisse aller à souhaiter plus de fonctionnalités, plus d’outils CRM etc… ou un plus vaste choix de formules de souscriptions, mais la simplicité est de mise avec Zlick et elle est volontaire. A l’usage elle est préférable à une « usine à gaz » compliquée. Je mets 5 étoiles méritées.

   The engagement with Mr. Jaan Sacks, the Chief Executive Officer of Zlick, proved highly beneficial and yielded valuable insights. Furthermore, it is imperative to emphasize the commendable utilization of inclusive language and the warm reception extended towards the LGBT+ community, a salient aspect to be noted given GAY45.eu’s status as a journal dedicated to queer issues. I advise for a video meeting with him. Will worth the time.

   The current version of wordpress is not compatible with your plugin. Please make an update quickly because the pages on my site that use it are really a mess, totally unreadable. I have to disable the plugin until you make an update. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by rossonero2021. This topic was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by rossonero2021.

   As a website owner, I have found it to be an incredibly valuable tool for monetizing my content and growing my business. Since implementing Zlick Paywall, I have seen a significant increase in revenue from my website. The plug-in is user-friendly and easy to customize, allowing me to offer a range of subscription options to my users. I appreciate that I have full control over the content that is placed behind the paywall, which has enabled me to offer exclusive content to my subscribers and keep my free content accessible to everyone. One of the things that I appreciate most about Zlick is the level of support that they offer. Whenever I have had a question or needed assistance with something, the team has been incredibly responsive and helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend Zlick paywall plug-in to any website owner who is looking for a reliable, effective way to monetize their content. It has truly been a game-changer for my business, and I am grateful for the work that you do. Thank you for creating such a fantastic product. Wale Fowora mrfowora.com

   I wanted a simple WordPress plugin for my content website that allowed me to put pages and posts behind a paywall. I literally trialled every option there is, Leaky Paywall, Memberpress, Memberful…etc and Zlick is by a country mile the best option. But it would be unfair to even compare Zlick Paywall to them, it’s so far ahead. The other options I mentioned are stuck in 2005 with their designs, limitations and frankly the payment flows and multiple screens needed for a visitor to just purchase a membership are laughable in this day and age. I’m able to create websites and am quite ‘literate’ with web design, but just trying to create a membership area was so confusing with the other options. And you have to create an extra 2-3 pages on your website and make sure they look good, the links work…etc. Why is Zlick better? Clean design and UX – miles better than any other option. Users can purchase with 1-click! Less friction than visiting multiple pages so this means more conversions. Super simple setup, takes 10-15mins at the most. Allows recurring memberships. Is reasonably priced with a percentage fee structure of commissions, unlike Leaky Paywall asking for $299 per month. Regularly updated The development team really cares! They literally took on board feedback I gave and updated the plugin with that exact feature. Just simply a great plugin which does exactly what you want!

   When I wanted to find a paywall for my blog I really got frustrated with different plugins, managed to get them to work, but they were difficult to use and always something went wrong. I was recommended to yose Zlick Paywall and as I am no IT-genius it was easy to install even for me, works perfectly and the support team is always willing to help and answers all questions professionaly and very quickly. Would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a paywall.

   The simplest and easiest to use plugin I’ve found so far. Quick installation, 10 minutes. The support is very good and they respond quickly and objectively. Need to have more monetization plans options. Without a doubt very good. I recommend it to everyone.
