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

N/A

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.

    This plugin adds a much-needed feature to Contact Form 7. Having the visual editor mode for the email text is so helpful. I add this plugin to all of my client’s sites that run Contact Form 7.

    You will like this plugin if you want to use basic html tag (bold, italic, tec.). For theses that wants to integrate, for example a html page, or a simple table, it will transform your code into plain text. This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by Patrice.
