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.

How 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

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.

    Easy to use and most importantly it really works! I’ve tried all of them. The rest either freeze because of caching plugin incompatibility, either they force me to use Gutenberg for god knows what reasons, or the UI is so generic and ugly – it just displays hours in <ul><li> I mean come’n guys – horrible. But this one is different – it’s dynamic, stylish, intuitive – just add your time, vacation, company days, specify the style – you’re done. Great UX, easy, fast, reliable. Great job. Love it!

    I’m really happy with the Plugin from WombatStudios. As I started to create a new Website for our Costumer, we decide to build up a page where you can see all Opening Times from Stores inside the building. Why I choose Business Hour Indicator? The best feature is that you can set unlimited Opening Times for each Store and not only one. You can Design it with CSS and when you don’t know how? The Support replies fast and helps.

    Even the Free BHI is great. But, I wanted a few more features to help me sell the service to a customer. This is a great Plug-In and the BHI staff is quick on responses and suggestions.

    I was looking for a plugin to display a business opening hours, in a particular style. I downloaded and paid for the Pro version of this plugin and within a few minutes (and some amazing help form the author) was able to achieve the exact look I wanted. I am using the plugin in the footer block of a wordpress site using Elementor. Highly recommended!
