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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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’ve stumpled accross this plugin by accident, because I’m developing a custom theme with ACF. After installation, I was disappointed, that nothing changed..until I found the button on the frontend. This plugin is so incredibly helpful, after one day using it, I can’t imagine working without it in the future. It’s awesome. I love it, and you will love it too. Guaranteed!

This plugin saves so much time when building out sites that depend on Advanced Custom Fields. For very large sites, it sometimes reduces development time by about 20%. I use ACF Field Viewer in conjunction with this ACF filter, which shows the field names inline on every edit screen that contains ACF field groups: https://gist.github.com/jcallery/31af5747e5ead8894bd9
