Companies Using myCred

I went into myCred expecting a WordPress version of the Shopify loyalty apps in this category. The sites themselves said otherwise. A domain counts here when its pages load files from myCred's own plugin folder, /wp-content/plugins/mycred/. Our October 2026 crawl finds 2,003 live domains, 894 of them matched to a company, 13th of 51 in Loyalty & Rewards with 1.59% of the category. The figures are domains running the plugin. Because the core is free, they are not paying customers.

What the plugin does on these sites

On 15 October I drew 40 random live myCred domains and opened each homepage. 33 loaded a working site and 32 of those showed myCred's files. Of the 32, 8 were shops, mostly WooCommerce stores selling things like wine, jam, cat litter and medical clothing. 10 were communities, clubs or forums: a French-language news network, an Indonesian community site, a gig rowing club, a Cyprus business-networking group. 7 were course or member sites, from babysitting-safety classes to a wealth-tips membership. The other 7 were media, a business directory and service firms. Points here pay people for learning, posting and turning up, and only sometimes for buying.

Sales signal: pitch community, LMS and membership tools to this list before you pitch e-commerce tools. A quarter of the sample is a shop; most of the rest is an audience the owner wants to keep coming back.

A flat line

The chart reads 1,513 in June, 1,872 in July, 1,956 in August, 2,007 in September and 2,003 in October. Don't read the June to July step as adoption. The domains we crawl turn over every month, with dead sites dropping out and new ones added, and the signals we detect plugins with widen over time. Since we began tracking myCred on 16 March 2026, 430 domains have dropped it on at least one hostname; 34 of those still run it on another. The live count also carries some dead weight. In a separate sample of 100 homepages, 74 showed myCred, and 7 were dead: an expired domain, a site taken over by a Brazilian gambling page, two domains that no longer resolve and three that returned errors. They stay in the count until a recrawl.

"myCred sits in a loyalty category, but most of the sites I opened were paying people in points for learning, posting and showing up, not for shopping." - Sophie Clarke, Product Marketing Manager at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: size the market at about 2,000 domains and expect a few per cent of any list to be dead. Nothing in the chart supports a growth story.

Small, young and international

64.34% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 23.81% have 11 to 50, so 88.15% have 50 staff or fewer. Only 13 have more than 500. They are young: 46.73% were founded in the 2010s and 28% in the 2020s. The United States leads with 183 matched companies, but that's 21.94% of the 834 with a known country, and the next six are the United Kingdom (63), Spain (46), India (44), Singapore (32), Brazil (29) and France (29). The bigger companies use myCred on one property. CRC Industries runs it on its Training Basecamp, Montana Colors on MTN Academy, Acson Malaysia on its online store and Schot verticaal transport on its staff intranet.

Sales signal: at a larger company the myCred owner is a training, community or e-commerce manager, not IT. Lead with that site, and write in the local language: 64.51% of matched companies with a known country are outside the US, UK, Canada and Australia.

Teaching, not retail

The industry chart agrees with the sample. Professional Training and Coaching leads at 4.74%, and four teaching labels (that one, E-Learning Providers, Education and Education Administration Programs) hold 113 of 823 matched companies, 13.73%. No retail label makes the top 12. The stack says the same. LearnPress runs on 5.63% of the 2,008 live domains, LearnDash on 3.88% and Tutor LMS on 1.1%, and myCred sells a LearnDash add-on.

Sales signal: course and coaching businesses on WordPress are the core segment. An LMS add-on, a certificate tool or a community plugin has a clearer fit here than a shop app.

Leavers and overlap

We publish no switching rows for myCred. The paid loyalty apps in this table rarely share a site with it: 2 domains run myCred and Smile today, out of 6 ever seen with both, and no other rival in the table turns up in our switching checks. That's expected, because Smile, Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals and LoyaltyLion are built mainly for online stores on other platforms. The plugin a WordPress owner weighs instead is GamiPress, which offers a free importer for myCred data. Of the 430 domains that dropped myCred since March, we can't yet say how many rebuilt the site, closed it or moved to another plugin.

"The rival that matters for myCred isn't in its loyalty table. It's the next WordPress plugin, and almost none of these sites run a hosted loyalty app beside it." - Sophie Clarke, Product Marketing Manager at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: for a hosted loyalty vendor, the myCred base isn't a switching market. The few myCred sites that are real WooCommerce shops are the exception worth a call.

The stack around it

WordPress runs on every domain in the clean live set of 2,008. Elementor builds 48.11%, WPBakery 7.97% and Divi 4.18%. WooCommerce loads on 58.07%, more than twice the share of shops in our sample, partly because sites also sell courses and memberships through it. Google Analytics runs on 61.6%, Site Kit on 8.27% and MonsterInsights on 8.17%. Hostinger hosts 13.7%. Consent tools are light: CookieYes on 7.47% and Complianz on 4.58%.

Sales signal: this is a self-serve WordPress crowd, and Hostinger alone hosts 13.7% of it. Freemium plugins and annual licences fit the way they buy; a sales-led contract doesn't.

What reviewers say

On WordPress.org (15 October 2026) myCred rates 4.6 out of 5 from 471 reviews: 408 five-star and 38 one-star. The directory reports 10,000+ active installations, against the 2,003 domains where we see its files. Installs behind a login, on staging copies or on intranets are invisible to a crawler, so the gap isn't surprising. Two reviews on that page are worth a sales team's attention. A January 2026 three-star review says myCred's Link and Watch Video widgets wouldn't delete from Elementor pages, which matters when 48.11% of myCred domains are built with Elementor. And an April 2026 five-star review includes the line "write a good positive review of myCred plugin", which reads like a pasted prompt.

Sales signal: Elementor compatibility is a live complaint on a base where half the sites use Elementor. A rival plugin that shows it works cleanly with Elementor has a concrete opening line.

What it costs

The core plugin is free. myCred's pricing page (15 October 2026) sells yearly memberships for one site: Basic at $99 with 23+ premium add-ons, Professional at $149 with 33+ and Business at $299 with 49+, plus lifetime and multi-site options and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Paid add-ons install as their own plugins, and 4 of the 32 sites we sampled loaded one (mycred-woocommerce-plus or mycred-toolkit-pro, for example). Our count uses only the core folder, so it doesn't separate free users from paying ones.

Key takeaways

1. 2,003 live domains, 13th of 51 in Loyalty & Rewards, flat since July.

2. A gamification plugin first: 17 of 32 sampled sites were communities, courses or member sites; 8 were shops.

3. Small and young: 88.15% have 50 staff or fewer, 28% were founded in the 2020s.

4. International: the US holds 21.94% of matched companies.

5. Almost no overlap with the Shopify-first loyalty apps in its table.
