Update activity
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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

The most underrated lightweight review plugin for wc. Its a shame that doesnt work with 3+ wc versions. Had just 10+ sales, people didnt recognize it, so lacking of further implementations and support is expected. Its our guilt that this plugin didnt lived not the author fault. WooCommerce need this review system as default, not a crap as it is now. It would be nice to someone share bug fixes for further use, or this plugin will die eventually..

WooCommerce reviews has needed this for so long. It’s perfect to give the potential customer an easier way to pull information that is important to them when making the decision to buy. It also gives the store owner much deeper insights into the product itself and what makes it tick in the minds of the customer.

Works very well and fixes the core issues from WooCommerce with how product reviews use comments by default.
