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

Occasionally updated
from wp.org release tags

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

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 extension to CF7 opens for a whole variety of use cases and creative solutions. If you combine it with Conditional Fields for CF7 the possibilities are endless. Thanx for this solution.

    Happy to have discovered this extremely useful plugin. You can, for example, automatically populate the labels in a dropdown field with the titles of a custom post type and get their values from a custom field created with ACF. Good job!

    This plugin fills a need that isn’t addressed by CF7 alone. And if for any reason you need extrahelp (like using hooks), you can ask for support. Thanks to the author for his kind help 🙏
