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.

Simple, powerful and future-proof plugin. Installed it out of curiosity and honestly didn’t expect much but it actually works really well. Setup took like 2 minutes and everything just runs without touching anything. I really like that it doesn’t just create a basic llms.txt file but handles multiple AI discovery files properly. Everything is automated and well-structured nice simple plugin 👍
