Frequently asked questions

WP-PostRatings, at #1,106 on the WordPress.org popular plugins list today, with Rating Layouts at #64,380. The ranking reflects recent installs and moves daily, which is why this page shows the history rather than one snapshot.
Are Rating Layouts or WP-PostRatings alternatives to each other?
Not all of them. Some of these plugins do different jobs and many sites run more than one. This page compares their popularity, not their features.

WordPress.org publishes each plugin’s active install count and its position on the popular list. This site records both every day, along with per-day downloads and ratings, so the charts above show how the plugins have moved over time rather than a single day.
