Ultimeter

It then allows you to choose between percentage or currency units (with heaps more metrics in the Pro version). You can specify the total (goal) amount, as well as the total raised (progress) amount. You can even choose the colour of the meter, to keep it in line with your own styles.

We had an issue with integration and Ben was able to identify and resolve the issue for us really quickly. Thank you!

Support Is Amazing!

siraubsreh October 31, 2024

I had a quick turn deadline for a client and purchased Ultimeter to meet the requirement. I identified a bug and within mere hours Ben was able to review and patch the issue. I have rarely had a plugin developer diagnose and remedy an issue so quickly, so I highly recommend this developer! UPDATE: 2 years of excellent support from Ben! He goes ABOVE and beyond to support his product. One of the best developers I have worked with!

Great Custom Meter and Quick Support

janpear September 19, 2022 1 reply

We have been using the custom meter feature for over a year and are pleased with how easy it is to create and use on our website for our fundraising events. I had to ask for support for an issue I was having with our website and received a response the same day. They were able to adjust a feature on our website and got the meter working perfectly. Excellent customer service! Easy integration with our WordPress website.

Works for me!

Exactly what I needed for Woocommerce sales progress board. The author was super flexible with a license issue I had.

Easy to Use!

As a small non-profit, we were looking for something free yet easy to set up, simple to customize just enough that it looks like it belonged on our website, and painless to update daily to show our progress. Ultimeter was exactly what we needed! Thank you!
