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

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I’ve been using this plugin for several years. It stopped working after a Buddypress update and I reported the problem unsure of the cause. In hours the problem was resolved with a plugin update. Thanks to Philopress.

    Annoying me to have bought a plugin there is actually logical that you want to use a plugin for more than 1 year. New purchase no thanks!

    Great plugin! Works quite well. However on pages that aren’t using a google map, they are slowed down. The script is qued on ALL pages, but if I don’t have a mymap div on that page, it throws a JS error – and it seems to be really bad on mobile. message : “myMap is not a function” name : “InvalidValueError” stack : “Error↵ at new Eb (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:41:365)↵ at Object._.Fb (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:41:475)↵ at Og (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:96:420)↵ at https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:131:58↵ at Object.google.maps.Load (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:21:5)↵ at https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:130:20↵ at https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEbNrty2LK5O2DbsjKx1cJd4OsPqIVXjE&libraries=places&callback=myMap:131:73” __proto__ : Error
