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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Simple to integrate, works immediate after receiving key&secret, simple setup wizard. After provisioning accounts easy use and login with the App on Android (in my case). Its cool, no more keyboard interaction while logging in!

I was looking for a simple, password-free login. If possible 2FA. I came across Almefy, an interesting concept. You just scan the QR code with their app, and you’re in. Very simple – and for 2FA you always need your smartphone anyway. So why not just use the phone. Installation was easy, but I had to request a code. Well, OK – the guys responded quickly, and it’s free for private use anyway. All over: Plugin stays in – for now on the test drive, but makes a stable impression and the fast and secure scanning without the password is pretty good. Cheers!
