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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I’m giving this a 5 star review because of the great support the good folks at Ademti Software provided, when I encountered what I thought was a random occurrence of extra emails being sent to customers. Their detailed support, helped me to see that the source of the extra emails was from product testing we where doing at the time, not the plugin. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into helping me, even though I was only using the free version of their product. I can’t say enough good things about these guys, great product, great support!

    I build a lot of websites for numerous clients and I make sure they have the free one as a default, and if they really want to up their eCommerce game, we go with the Pro version, adds quite a lot of flexibility so worth a look. It tracks which ones it has recovered, and there is always a recovered cart on there which is amazing, to think that otherwise we’d have lost that sale. The developer is on hand for any questions and is super friendly and helpful. Great plugin, highly recommended.

    Smart, clean, super user-friendly. It’s easy to set up, easy to customise, and the coupons worked perfectly even in our multi-currency environment. Plus they actually responded to our suggestions, nice. Five stars and two thumbs up!

    Two reasons why this plugin is excellent: 1) It works. It’s simple (that’s a good thing) and does its job without a fuss. It’s well designed. Competing products do basically the same thing but charge literally 10 times as much. 2) The support. I think the author takes pride in his work and it shows. He’s very responsive with support and feedback. It gives me confidence that this plugin will be kept up-to-date and supported in the future. Try it!

    Tried to install it a number of times, but it just won’t activate.
