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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Alvaro Gómez8.6y ago
This small extra functionality is very straightforward and helpful. I am very surprised nobody had thought of this before. Besides being more convenient, it gives users who cannot edit forms (authors for example) an easy way to insert them, thus keeping permissions to just the right level for each user. Technically the plugin works perfect. Thankyou! This topic was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by Alvaro Gómez. This topic was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by Alvaro Gómez.
