How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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. annual revenue

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’ve tested your plugin and it’s easy to use. I really like it. Do you plan to update it regularly? Also, I tried to add a button below an image and didn’t succeed. Is this a mistake on my part or is it not possible?

    Having the plugin create random layouts is amazingly fun. I have to say that I only tested it for 5 minutes or so, I did not test it for responsive views, and other detailed stuff to find bugs and weaknesses. If I find any, I will report back… Job well done, thanks. Update: It is responsive as well !!! 2nd Update: Ok, I found I thing I can complain about. In the Bento Cards we are very limited to add blocks into it. We are allowed blocks like image blocks, headings, paragraphs, and maybe one or more others. We should be allowed to insert any registered block that the site has. We are not allowed to even insert a Button block which is very frustrating. Yes, I can hyperlink the text, but using buttons, it will look and feel more professional – just my opinion… This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by nick6352683.
