How 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. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    I was looking for an alternate to Kadence Hooked Elements because that’s the only premium feature that I need for my blog and this plugin helped me replace that. Thank you.

    I was searching for a solution to add a banner/CTA at the bottom of every article on my site. This plugin works very well. It is lightweight and simple to configure.
