Figma plugin analytics

Have you ever wondered what conversion rate do your Figma plugin have? How it compare to other plugins? Have your recent update improved things? To answer those questions I present you my newest weekend project Figma Stats — analytics page for Figma plugins.

Find out:

• plugin (page) views
• installs (& install ratio —installs per view %)
• likes (& like ratio — likes per install %)
• top scoring plugins within specific date range
• filter, sort & mix plugins by different metrics
• see how your metrics compare to others

General metrics

Top scoring plugins by views / installs / likes

Why I decided to build this?

While browsing Figma developers Slack channel I’ve stumbled upon Yuan Qing Lim figma-plugins-stats repository which had collected extensive data about all Figma plugins to date.

Yet there were things that restrained me using it:

1. It could only be accessed via Terminal as there were no web version available.
2. No way of sharing your data.
3. If you plan to use it in regular basis, it's not user friendly.

Although you will easily find installs and likes in Figma itself. Yuan's data consisted of Page Views — metric that you currently won't find elsewhere, not even in Figma itself. Pretty exclusive huh? This opens space for new calculations such as—conversion rate (install rate in this case).

Also i’m data junky, I like graphs in any form and color, so building this was pretty fun thing to do.

Table that could be sorted by any metric you like

Tech stack

This is probably one of my first #nocode projects since I barely used any coding.🥳

• For front-end I've used Google Data Studio (GDS)
• For database — BigQuery

BigQuery is synced with Yuan Qing Lim repository daily. Then it does little parsing and outputs data to GDS. Currently data consist of ~ 250 000 rows.

Hope this will help you analyse your own data, find out other stats or help to find cool underdog plugins.

N.B. FigmaStats.com is not official website by Figma. It relies on Figma’s internal APIs, which may break or become unavailable at any time.
