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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Easy to set up and deploy, loads of options with the paid plan and well worth the small cost in my opinion.

    The plugin ad copy claims that if you connect your account at their company to the plugin, you’ll get five buttons. But what they don’t tell you is that the buttons can’t appear on the same page (unless you pay). That’s deceptive. My support inquiry has gone unanswered now for about a week. Look into “tel:” and “skype:” and “signal.me:” links a little and you’ll find you can make your own buttons easily within WordPress.

    We’ve tried several plugins that offer similar features and have made Call Now Button our go-to WP plugin for clients that want/need those features for their websites. CNB is loaded with options, very easy to use, and the few times we’ve had to contact them the CNB team has been great. They’re quick to respond, professional, knowledgable, friendly, and, most importantly, accurate. These guys know their plugin inside and out and will go out of their way to help customers and keep them happy. Thanks!
