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.

    This is a great plugin. Reasonably lightweight, designed to integrate with the block editor, and it just works. Most of the carousel/slider plugins are very bloated and on ‘freemium’ model where they do 100 things you don’t need, and restrict one or two important functions to paid users. This one gives my everything I need with a minimal footprint and high compatibility. I tried a handful of other plugins before discovering this one and it is now my go-to slider.

    Excellent accessibility-focused slider plugin. We needed a carousel that met WCAG requirements without sacrificing design flexibility, and this plugin delivered. Keyboard navigation works smoothly, screen readers can properly interpret the content, and the setup process was straightforward.
