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
No release in a yearHow 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.

This is an excellent platform for customer support and general analytics. Also, the program is great for internal marketing and support. You can easily contact your customers using email or messages in the application.

I took demo and found it pretty cool. Now I have just purchased the and I am yet to explore it entirely. But what really impressed me is their support team. During sales inquiry they took note of my needs and feedback and implemented those in the bot within 2 weeks.Having a good support team to listen to your feedback and issues is as essential as having a good plugin. My thumbs up for this plugin and support team, really good work.

This plugin has it all. We decided on the Ultimate version, with lifetime updates and support. We had a few issues setting up the plugin with integrations to live chat, but the support team of Chatgen went above and beyond to resolve this in no time at all. The support is fast, reliable and friendly and they get things done as promised! Even for small businesses, this is really a great investment!

Great plugin with great potential. The functionalities which I enjoyed the most are. – Ability to capture leads automatically. – Being available 24×7. – Easy integration to my CRM. – Live chat ability due to hybrid platform. Overall a very good plugin. Really useful especially for E-commerce and WP sites, offering online services. This topic was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by dunhamwilliams87.
