What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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 am quite impressed with the Advanced Sermons plugin. It is easy to configure and use, even for non-techies. Support questions are answered almost immediately and quite thoroughly. Kudos to the team!

    Very responsive support. We managed to figure out and apply a fix in a matter of minutes once we figured out what the problem was.

    I had to contact support as a recent update to my theme (Blocksy) caused my post excerpts to disappear. After working with the Blocksy support team, we determined that Advanced Sermons may have something to do with it. I contacted WPCodeus support. Although they are working on an updated of Advanced Sermons (v. 3), it wasn’t ready yet. Kevin from the support team was able to modify code in the Advanced Sermons Pro functions to bypass the problem until the new version is made public. Kevin was able to do it quickly, and everything is working as it should. Quick response to the problem, which is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Very limited features are free. All feature are premium. i think it’s useless.

    I’ve been searching for a sermon plugin for a while, and saw this pop up. Unfortunately, the free version is practically useless, which is a real shame. Other free plugins at least offer some useful features, whereas this one limits what feels like 90% of the features, and most of those I’d consider essential…

    Kevin went beyond the call of duty on the issue that I had. A quick and satisfactory answer. Problem solved!
