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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I had a problem with the plugin on my website. The team could not reproduce this problem in the first instance. After I had given them admin rights, the problem was solved within a day. Compliment for the great support.

    Don’t install this plugin “B Slider”, it’s dangerous for your website, once installed it doesn’t even work, gives error on the website, and then won’t even edit the page. And the more cruel thing is that it is not even disabled, neither by the admin nor by the developer. This is a dangerous situation. In which my website is stuck. It seems that this plugin has hijacked my website and made it a slave, now the plugin is neither un-installing nor giving an edit option. Nor is fixing my site. I’m stuck. . My site is down, my efforts are in vain

    Just to mention, due to one block on the frontend – the entire Bootstrap CSS, entire React JS, complete fontAwesome.css are all loaded. Woow? You can say goodbye to fast page speed. The only good thing is that those are not loaded on every page, but only on those using blocks.

    Been very happy with our pro purchase. Did have a few issues, but the developer is very responsive and supports this plugin well.
