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

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.

    I started to use this plugin to show related posts on my magazine just a few weeks ago and it started quickly to increase the pages per session rate in my website. I suffer from “one page click and run” users that look for just something they need and leave the website, but since start using this plugin, I got a lot better results. Very easy to set up, I recommend!

    I had been looking for a related content solution that was functional, easy to set up and had a nice layout for quite some time. I stumbled upon this plugin by chance with very few reviews and was very doubtful. After installing it I had to reconsider, it is really what I was looking for. Great Work Guys

    Compared to all other solutions to create related posts on WordPress, I like the fact that it is easy to configure, without having to manually link content or categories on my site. Very easy to install it does not require any special configuration and in a few minutes it can make the list of similar content, I tried it with the works section on my site with good results. I also find interesting that the choice is made on a semantic basis as they say… Ultimately I recommend it if you are looking for an effective alternative solution for related posts 🙂
