How ChatGPT plugins overlap with the wider AI ecosystem
ChatGPT-tagged plugins sit across a broad adjacent ecosystem, with AI the largest overlap.
Among 337 plugins, 187 also carry the ai tag; claude and seo overlap with 66 each, followed by openai (63), chatbot (54), and mcp (46). These counts show tag associations across the category, not that every plugin covers every area.
Install counts among the leading ChatGPT plugins
Install totals cluster around a small group of leaders, then step down to listings with 8,000 or fewer active installs.
- WPVibe: 100,000 active installs; the only plugin in the category at this threshold.
- AI Engine: 90,000; LocoAI: 70,000.
- Uncanny Automator: 40,000; Easy MCP AI: 30,000.
- Chat Button & Custom ChatGPT-Powered Bot by GetBut: 20,000.
- AI Puffer and Royal MCP: 10,000 each. Together, these are the eight plugins with at least 10,000 installs.
- Below that tier, Secure MCP Server for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and has 8,000; Hyve Lite has 7,000; WPBot and Jotform have 5,000 each.
Update activity and review signals
Most listed leaders have recent updates and excellent ratings, but the amount of review evidence varies.
- Updated this month: WPVibe, AI Engine, LocoAI, Uncanny Automator, Easy MCP AI, AI Puffer, Royal MCP, Secure MCP Server for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and, Hyve Lite, WPBot, and Jotform.
- Updated one month ago: Chat Button & Custom ChatGPT-Powered Bot by GetBut.
- Ratings: Every listed plugin is rated excellent except Hyve Lite, which is rated good.
- Review volume: AI Engine and LocoAI have many reviews. WPVibe, Uncanny Automator, Chat Button, AI Puffer, and WPBot have a moderate number; the remaining listed plugins have few. A strong rating therefore comes with differing amounts of review evidence.
A fragmented category with broad recent maintenance
The install distribution points to a few sizable leaders among a much larger set of smaller options.
There are 337 plugins in the category, but only one reaches 100,000 installs and eight reach 10,000 or more. The rest of the category sits below that level, suggesting a wide range of smaller listings alongside the most-installed plugins.
The 76% updated within the last year indicates broad recent maintenance across the category. Update activity can be one useful signal when comparing plugins, but it does not establish quality, suitability, or ongoing support on its own.
