How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
The recent download trend is too spiky to read. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $49–$129 a year, typical for WordPress plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
- Install base. 200K–300K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).
Inputs
- Active installs
- 200K–300K
- Category
- Uncategorized
- Pro tier
- detected ("Lite" naming, the free tier of a paid product)
- Download trend
- volatile (a recent download spike, likely a release)
- Reviews

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

Recent review vibe

Thank you for this wonderful plugin!

Excellent plug-in that serves the purpose very aesthetically. However, there is one issue where, on iOS, the flipbook doesn’t load initially. You have to tap a finger or scroll to make it visible. But that’s a minor irritant. Hope the developers will address the issue.

Le rendu est très agréable et fluide (après un temps de chargement non négligeable).La version gratuite est déjà très complète. La version payante est cependant nécessaire pour que les liens soient actifs.

Mooie plugin, werk er heel graag mee
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Johan4mo ago
As an author, I wanted to offer the readers PDF outtakes from books in an accessible and attractive way, instead of just plain text on a separate page. The plugin is very customizable and easy to embed in your pages and even in your Woocommerce product pages, offering customers a browsable preview. I really don’t have anything negative to say. It does what it was made to do and it does it well. This topic was modified 2 months, 1 week ago by Johan.
