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. 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 use to have bad bots and spam, trying to brute access to my websites and client’s websites. Once I use Cloudfilt, this has reduced significantly, better than Cloudflare. Its really effective. Only downside is that I wish the client dashboard will be coming to WordPress or to their webapp.

    After a very short time of having this software installed on my sites, I have been amazed at the number of Bots that were previously getting through Prior to installing cloudfilt. The software shows you in the dashboard what is being stopped. A lot of Spam had still been getting through prior to the install. Now that all seems to have stopped completely. I have had no issues with it working alongside my other security plugins either
