60 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

Around 1,000 active installs is modest but reasonable given the niche audience of VG WORT participants in Germany.

Update Freshness

16/25

Updated as recently as September 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, suggesting the author is actively maintaining it.

User Rating

12/15

A score of 82 out of 100 from 12 ratings is positive but based on a small sample that limits how confidently it can be trusted.

Support Health

8/15

Only 1 support thread exists and it remains unresolved, which is a yellow flag given how thin the user base is.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Compatible with WordPress 4.6 and up and PHP 7.0+, giving it broad reach, though PHP 7.0 is well past end of life.

What It Does

Worthy integrates the German VG WORT metering system (Zählmarke) directly into WordPress, allowing authors to mark qualifying text passages and insert the required pixel-based tracking code automatically. It streamlines registration with VG WORT through METIS and T.O.M. services, reducing the manual copying of identification numbers and pixel codes that the organization normally requires for royalty claims.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for German-language publishers, editors, and freelance writers who participate in the VG WORT collecting society and want to claim royalties for distributed online text. It suits magazines, news sites, and blogs producing long-form German content above the 1,800 character threshold that VG WORT requires for compensation.

Who Should Skip It

If you publish only in English or other non-German languages, or you have no relationship with VG WORT, this plugin has no practical value for your site.

The Bottom Line

Worthy is a focused utility that solves a specific and tedious problem for German VG WORT participants, earning an overall quality score of 63.42. The combination of a small user community and an unresolved support thread means you should test carefully, but for its narrow target audience it does what it promises. If you are a German publisher using VG WORT, it is worth a serious look; if not, skip it entirely.
