What category concentration and maintenance mean when choosing
WPForms’ 5 million installs put it well ahead of the other listed plugins, but the category includes a much broader range of adoption levels. With 573 plugins, 32 at 10,000 or more installs and 12 at 100,000 or more, the leading names represent only part of the field. The 65% updated in the last year also indicates that recent maintenance varies across the category. Adoption and update recency can therefore help frame comparisons between a highly adopted option and alternatives.
