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
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.

BudgetGuard does exactly what you’d expect: it provides full transparency on what’s happening with your ad budget. Especially for our Google campaigns, it’s extremely helpful to see which clicks are actually relevant and which ones are identified as invalid. Everything is clearly structured without unnecessary complexity. The automatic analysis runs reliably in the background and gives much more confidence when managing ad spend. The installation via the plugin was smooth, the connection was established instantly, and the configuration is very intuitive. A strong solution for anyone looking to manage their campaigns cleanly and efficiently.
