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.

Thank You!! – I had an issue with AIO for last 3 months where my inflated cache folder was causing the backup to fail. I managed to exclude the cache folder with this plugin and everything was back to normal. A very useful plugin. This functionality should have been a part of AIO WP Migration.

I was able to reduce the size from 3 GB to 900 Mb by excluding some big sized folders. Thank you for such a great open-source plugin.

Needed to exclude a LOT of backup directories from All-in-One WP Migration. All-in-One WP Migration Folder Excluder was exactly what I needed. The backup went from 3.3 GB to 340 MB. Thanks!

Works as intended.

Thanks a lot. Might be good to say that the folders are relative to wp-content. Thanks
