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.

I bought and install the pro version of the plug-in, very handy and effective, as I needed it, There was some issue that technical support took care of it very fast, happy with my choice

It totally wastes time to try the free version. Because only the type of color is available in free version. So Ridiculous. There are so many other free versions of plugins with the type of Image.

I looked at the range of solutions available for my website and found this to be the most functional and certainly the best value. When I had a problem setting up (my own fault) the team got in there and solved it for me quickly and politely. Don’t worry about those year-old single star reviews, this company wins on function, value AND support!
