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.

low confidence

Est. annual revenue

≈$5.9K range $1.7K–$21K

Est. acquisition value

≈$12K range $2.6K–$53K

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay. 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. 1.5x–2.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, compressed because the install trend is declining.
  • Install base. 7K–8K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

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.

    This plugin adds a gigantic banner on top of the admin dashboard that can’t be removed. Keep your ads on your settings page. Uninstalled!

    I tried using a shortcode, but it did not work! It only showed the text of the shortcode in the frontend. That sucks! Anyway the LITE Version maybe usefull for other purposes.

    Can’t add ultimate shortcode. Text editor looks the same as in the post and page editor, but it is not the same.

    Does exactly what it says it will do, adds a floating footer to your website with your content. I had a problem with my shortcode not rendering within the footer, and support got right on it and got it fixed for me. Definitely recommend! 🙂
