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.

It really works pretty well – especially it’s very fast and lightweight. The major problem is that it only allows a single item to be sticky/floating. It would be perfect if it allowed for several items, and then add them above/below each other or allow for manual padding to put them above/below other items. Also it would be great if it would be possible to integrate a to top action on cliking on sticky items. E.g. if you use shortcodes ultimae tab nav items – then they are not actual links but just like tabs in a website. If you make a tab nav bar sticky – it would be great if upon clicking an item the screen scrolls back up to the position where the item got stuck (or if that’s not possible all the way up like the “to top” plugin from the same author.

I tried several free plugins for sticky menu and this one this by far the one with best results. If the add the feature of hide on scroll down, it would be perfect.
