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.

No release in a year

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

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

N/A

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.

    The plugin is nice. but it is bad that there are no icon options. I think an alternative should be added. or we should be able to add icons. icon alternatives are insufficient.

    Kurulumu basit ve kullanımı kolay. Henüz eklenti kaynaklı bir ağırlaşma olmadı. Aslında whatsapp eklenseydi çok daha güzel olurdu. İngilizcem çok iyi olmadığı için Türkçe yazdım, umarım çeviri de sıkıntı yaşanmaz 🙂

    All in one social media features – like/dislike, social share/count, read time and author box in one plugin. Easy to add to automatically or manually using shortcode. Wish there is more sharing option in social share. Awesome…
