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.

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.

medium confidence

Est. annual revenue

≈$1.9K range $490–$7.7K

Est. acquisition value

≈$6.5K range $1.2K–$35K

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. 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. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
  • Install base. 2K–3K 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.

    good plugin. simple and to the point. at first I was confused about how to customise and activate so here’s how: Install it Activate it check for “age gate” somewhere on your admin menu customize it for your website no coding needed, no shortcodes, no widgets. It appears without you doing anything. Save your settings, test it and there you go 🙂 Thanks for the plugin!

    What a fantastic little age gate plugin. I use it for an online liquor shop. Easy to set up, not a lot of configuration capabilities, but it does what it needs to. Like the redirect if user ticks NO.
