AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP FullCalendar is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Calendar category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 96 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.

- +High average rating (4.7★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction

Credits
Big thank you to Michael Lynn who generously gave us this plugin namespace after deciding not to go through with his implementation. One less confusing name on the plugin repo!
This plugin was originally created for Events Manager Pro, which has been moved over here so it can be used by the community for other post types. Support and maintenance is sponsored by proceeds from this premium plugin, so if you’re in need of a good Events plugin, give it a try!
Roadmap Here’s a rough roadmap of where we’re heading, and will be ammended as time permits
Move to FullCalendar 5.x library
Remove jQuery dependency (due to 5.x transition and select boxes)
Add Gutenberg blocks
Add more native FullCalendar options to the settings page
Add formats for custom post types (currently only possible with Events Manager)
Colors for other taxonomies (currently only possible with Events Manager)
Multiple post types on one calendar
