Plugins Radar
Plugins Radar tracks ChatGPT plugin and app directory rankings, competitors, seven-day changes, and keyword gaps to diagnose discovery issues.
ChatGPT directory visibility monitoring
Plugins Radar is a monitoring and research tool for the public ChatGPT plugin and app directory. It tracks where plugins appear in directory search, which competing listings rank above them, and how their visibility changes over time.
The service is aimed at plugin and app publishers evaluating search visibility. Alongside individual ranking data, it provides topic leaderboards, new-plugin listings, and analysis of naming and tagline patterns that can help explain why a listing appears—or does not appear—in a search.
Directory monitoring features
Short-term ranking history
Review seven-day position charts to understand recent movement instead of relying only on a current rank.
Search visibility analysis
See which searches surface a plugin and identify keyword gaps that may explain missing visibility.
Competitor and change context
Compare a tracked plugin with the other results in its searches and inspect changes such as new listings or edited names and taglines.
Conversation suggestions
The homepage describes monitoring of plugins suggested by ChatGPT in conversations, including the order of suggestions and which plugins are suggested instead.
Directory discovery views
Explore topic leaderboards, the newest 50 directory entries, and a wider list of new plugins from the last 30 days alongside individual reports.
Practical use cases
Diagnose low search visibility
A publisher can search its exact listing, review the terms that surface it, and compare its position with the plugins above it before changing its name or tagline.
Evaluate listing changes
After editing a listing, a publisher can use the position history and seven-day charts to check whether rankings changed and inspect the change feed for new competitors or listing edits.
Prioritize search terms
A team choosing target search terms can use topic leaderboards and competitor results to identify narrower opportunities when broad terms are dominated by established or OpenAI listings.
Monitor the directory landscape
Researchers and directory watchers can use the newest-plugin list and topic pages to follow additions, categories, and leading listings across the public directory.

FAQ
How soon does a new plugin appear in the directory?
Plugins Radar tracks public ChatGPT plugins and their directory search results. The site says most newly created plugins it sees appear two to five weeks after creation, so a recently created plugin may not be searchable immediately.
How can I check which searches a plugin ranks for?
Find a plugin on Plugins Radar to see the searches where it appears, its position in each search, the plugins above it, and how its position changed over the previous seven days.
What listing information most affects directory visibility?
For apps, the name and tagline are the strongest visible matching fields in the directory data described by Plugins Radar. The guide recommends using plain words for the job the plugin performs rather than relying on a slogan.
What information does a plugin report include?
The site provides position data, seven-day charts, competitors, keyword gaps, and a full listing check. Its homepage says full reports are available free with an email, while the guide also presents basic position checking without sign-up.
