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.

Really like this plugin, it’s easy to use and the one time I did have trouble the support was immediate and effective.

I am very happy with the plugin. The free version does its job in a very clean way, easy to configure and to use. The PRO version is inexpensive and brings a bunch of new options. There is still place to improve (i am missing an alignment to the bottom of the screen and a possibility to import/export settings) but I am definitely recommending it: this is the perfect 2-in-1 solution: is acting also as a facebook like box and also like a pop-up!
