No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers like the setup and the quality of the generated excerpts, with one noting it sometimes slips into English on a Dutch site when the source text mixes languages.

    Smooth setup and reliable results. The plugin integrates perfectly with the ChatGPT API and speeds up our workflow. Clean UI, sensible defaults, and fast responses. Recommended. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 because it sometimes switches to English on our Dutch news site when the source text contains a few English words.

    The automatisation of the excerpt writing is not new but, the idea to build the excerpt based on specific algorithm is pretty nice. I have to say that the text extrapolated is not bad, and it gives a good insight of the post itself!
