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
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.

I wanted to create a photo gallery website where I could add custom information about every image uploaded. This little tool probably did 90% of the work so all I had to do was add some lines in my theme and I was done! Amazing… thank you!

I wanted to add Photographer Credit to each picture, it saved me coding time! Worked perfectly.
