Beehive

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Plugin is not supported anymore. Buying pro-Version does not work. Seems to be a dead project.

   Unusual presentation widget but you have to go to pro version to have some control on what is shown.

   This is a new plugin, and I think I may have been early adopter here. The potential for this is great. Basically it re-cuts thumbnails (or other sizes) as hexagons and displays them hyperlinked on the page in a widget or shortcode. The pro version certainly makes the product a lot more powerful and the E10 is worth the effort. This is a plugin that can help your site stand out from the crowd. And the developers are keen, quick to respond, and are open to suggestions. I think this is doing to take off. The rebuild with new functionality was delivered within the week. I am very impressed.
