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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    It’s a great module with great functionality, but it needs some attention from support. I hope they continue to support it.

    The plugin notification for product subscriptions works when the product is out of stock. However, when the product is restocked, an automatic in-stock mail notification is not sent to the subscribers.The most important feature or functionality of this website is not working. I tried to contact live support and email them about the issue but they will never respond. Poor plugin support and plugin functionality is not working.

    You hardly find a plugin with everything in its right place, thought through and with all settings clearly explained! The setup was a breeze, everything worked out of the box. I was looking for a good back-in-stock plugin due to GDPR concerns in the EU. This one has everything AND the Pro version lets you switch modules on/off as needed. I had one question concerning automated API stock import. The awesome customer support helped out immediately with a solution.

    The plugin works great. The interface sometimes should be a bit overwhelming but it’s ok. The support was fast and it helped me to solve my issues. Thanks!
