Metricool – Social media and site statistics

Ownership

Held by Really Simple Plugins throughout, with no change of ownership observed since daily tracking began on 02 Aug 2026.

Full observed history, including every field transition

Committing accounts

Read from the plugin’s public release log, so these predate this registry. A committing account is not an owner. Thirty accounts commit to WooCommerce and it has never changed hands.

This registry did not observe a transfer; it read these names off a public log. Whether that reflects a change of ownership is not something the directory publishes.

Adoption

How widely the plugin is installed, and what the people running it think of it. WordPress.org rounds install figures to one significant digit, so they describe an order of magnitude rather than a headcount.

Widely adopted: 90,000+ active installs. Among the more broadly installed plugins in the directory.

1,926 downloads a day over the last 7 days, steady against the 7 days before. Downloads are counted exactly and without a ceiling, so they show movement the rounded install figure cannot.

6 ratings left in the last 82 days, averaging 4.5 out of 5 against a lifetime average of 4.4 (1 of them one or two stars). Recent ratings are in line with the lifetime figure.

Install band rose to 90,000+ on 14 Oct 2026, from 80,000+. Both figures are rounded to one significant digit, so the size of the change is not knowable from them.

From recent reviews

What reviewers wrote on wordpress.org between 26 Jul 2026 and 12 Oct 2026: 13 reviews, counted by theme. Every count links to the reviews behind it.

Among the 13 reviews posted in this window, 5 reference Metricool's analytics, stats, or tracking features directly, from site visit counts to social data pulled into one dashboard. A smaller set, 2 of 13, describe the plugin as easy to use or a time saver, praising a smooth setup and transition from other tools. Another 2 of 13 say the free tier covers their needs well, especially for non-professional site owners. One reviewer reports a fatal error that followed a recent plugin update, which locked them out of the WordPress backend until they deactivated the plugin manually.

Counted from the public review forum on 22 Oct 2026. The reviews are their authors’ own words and their own claims; the counts are ours.

Every field we record, one column per observation. Fields that never moved are named once rather than repeated across every column. A row of identical numbers would be padding.

History

Everything dated that this registry holds about the plugin, most recent first. Releases carry the author’s own release date; everything else is dated to when it was observed.

Entries marked from the release log predate this registry, and daily observation began 02 Aug 2026. They were read from the plugin’s public SVN history after the fact, not watched as they happened. Everything else was observed directly.

What we know, and what we don’t

Everything on this page in one place, including the gaps, so that nothing here is mistaken for a clean bill of health.

Every record on this site, this one included, works under the same limits. We read what WordPress.org publishes about a plugin, never the plugin’s own code, so nothing here says whether a plugin is well built or safe. Install counts reach us already rounded; a change smaller than a band step doesn’t show. We don’t track security advisories yet. For anything older than our first observation we rely on the plugin’s public release log, where one exists. What this registry can and cannot see

Similar plugins

Plugins that share this one’s tags and talk about the same things in their own descriptions. Distinctive tags count for far more than broad ones. Sharing hover means something, sharing woocommerce does not, and a plugin that never mentions the subject matter is left out however its author tagged it. Among close matches, more widely installed plugins are listed first. This is a grouping rather than a ranking of quality.
