AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Embed Wistia Vid is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Craig Lambie — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (1) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

Why I did this?
The Wistia Plugin caused me great pains. I tried a few other code snippet plugins, but they then caused issues with “other” plugins.
Known issues:
– “Add this” plugin can cause an error with conflicts in Jquery or Wistia JS files

Future developments:
– Player customisation
– Social Sharing tools
– Call to action plugin
– More control over email capture plugin
