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

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.

    Such a helpful plugin. These days, people want the functionality of tagging others as well as being tagged and receiving alerts when they are mentioned, similar to when they’re on social media. This plugin adds that functionality even if you don’t use BuddyPress. Brilliant!

    Got it working – good job. Also, clicking on @link brings up author page, and most commenters are not authors. This topic was modified 4 years, 12 months ago by fakeologist. This topic was modified 4 years, 12 months ago by fakeologist.

    It is a simple yet Easy to use plugin that has been highly useful in my work. Kudos to the author who who helped me modify the logic as per my need in just 4 days! Highly recommend this over other similar plugins which either dont have the autocomplete feature or just dont send the email notifications. this does what the description suggests and then some!
