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.

    Perfect plug-in. Allows me to just code the url for images that change daily. Now, those images are preserved within my site attached to the appropriate day. Works great!
