Update activity

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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewers say it does a good job clearing fake and dead users out of a database, one crash after the 1.2.3 update was fixed quickly by support, and another user wanted it to block fake signups too.

    I was using AcyMailing for 2 years, when I heard that they were developing a new plugin: AcyChecker. What a surprise! AcyChecker is very useful, I wasn’t aware that my database was so full of fake users. AcyChecker helped me clean my database efficiently. The interface and the features are really easy to understand and to use. If you want to improve your database. Jump on the occasion, you won’t regret it!
