Chatly is one of the apps AppRanks tracks on the WordPress Plugin Directory. We refresh public marketplace data — pricing, rating, review count, category position, featured-section memberships — within the per-marketplace freshness targets published on our methodology page, and we publish the snapshot here exactly as it appears on the source marketplace. There is no proprietary score on this page; everything you see is mirrored from the live listing at our last crawl. If you are evaluating Chatly against alternatives, the independent listing audit scores it against the same rubric we apply to every app on the platform — listing completeness, rating health, review velocity, merchandising, and ranking consistency. The audit also surfaces a prioritized recommendation list, so a developer can see exactly which fixes would move the score most.
