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.

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
A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $39–$99 a year, typical for Admin & Utilities plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 1.5x–2.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, compressed because the install trend is declining.
- Install base. 1K–2K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

I have the pro version of the plugin but just wanted to give a review and shoutout to Kerry for the help (incredibly responsive and fast) he has given me. As far as I’m concerned, the Pro plugin is an incredible deal and price for what you get. It is very customisable and if you don’t know what you’re doing, as I didn’t, you can just ask support for really fast help. Much appreciated and recommended.

Not only does the plugin allow you to display customer testimonials, with excellent customization options, on the couple of occasions I’ve need to obtain support this has been swift and resolved the issue. If only all plugins had customer support like this!

Thank you for this plugin. I am very green in all of this so to have such a great plugin and support is such a relief. It makes our website look professional even though it’s done by at total amateur.

This is an amazing plug in, and it has even better tech support! It’s much simpler and straightforward than the other testimonial plugins I tried out (even paid ones!), and the support is surprisingly fast and knowledgeable! They helped me quickly iron all the problems I found, and even learn a little about shortcodes! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

A review plugin that supports rich snippets for $30!! Most other review plugins charge at least double this, per year, for this essential feature. Amazing support with setup etc as well.
