Switching from Bradmax Player: common questions

Which Bradmax Player alternative has the most users?
Presto Player, with 100,000+ active installs reported by WordPress.org.
Which Bradmax Player alternative is rated highest?
Presto Player, rated 4.8 out of 5 by 339 reviewers. Only plugins with at least 50 reviews are counted.
Are these Bradmax Player alternatives free?
Every plugin listed here is free to install from WordPress.org. Where WordPress.org marks a plugin as commercial, the developer also sells a paid version or add-ons, and that is shown on each plugin.
How are alternatives chosen?
Automatically, from WordPress.org data: plugins that share a category top 10 with Bradmax Player score highest, then plugins that appear in the same WordPress.org rankings, then plugins with the same tags, weighted so rare tags count more than common ones. Plugins by the same author and plugins rated under 4.0 are left out.
How we choose these alternatives
Nothing on this page is picked by hand. Every day we walk the whole WordPress.org directory, then score every plugin against Bradmax Player on three signals: sharing a category top 10 counts most, then appearing in the same WordPress.org rankings, then carrying the same tags, with rare tags counting for more than common ones like "wordpress". Plugins by the same author are excluded, so an author's own add-ons cannot fill the list, and so is anything rated below 4.0 or with fewer than 100 active installs. The ten highest scores are what you see, in that order. Full methodology.
The bottom line
Easy Video Player is the closest match to Bradmax Player by the data we track, and Presto Player has the widest reach with 100,000+ active installs. HTML5 Video Player shipped the most recent release, on September 3, 2026. The list is rebuilt every day from WordPress.org, so a plugin that stops being maintained drops out on its own.
