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.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow 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
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.

Great plug-in and I had a bit of difficulty getting it to works for my purpose. The developer replied fast with great suggestions to help until we had it working how we both expected. Probably the best support experience I’ve had with a plugin on wordpress.

Greatly increases your tool kit for contact form 7. Allows you get data from the database such as user data, post, woocommerce products and so on. You can even pull data from other cf7 fields letting create dynamic systems. This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by Zeb.
