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

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    This is a one of a kind plugin and it works well, I like it. Well and sorry, but I need to mention this and give a huge criticism back to the authors: Placing strangely broken ads in the backend is not good practice. Keep the ads in the plugin areas and everyone is fine but don’t misuse other admin sections. Also, deactivation is made impossible unless you give a rating which is an absolute no-go and should further be checked.

    It’s hard to identify what the precise problems are when virtually everything seems not to work correctly. This program is buggier than a cheap motel, so that it’s borderline unusable. Almost everything I try to do prompts multiple error messages or produces some strange effect in the text. For instance: – Multicollab prominently interferes with saving your work, so if you just love redoing work that didn’t save correctly, this is the tool for you! – All the buttons are broken and will simply stop working until you refresh the page. Better hope it actually managed to save before you hit that refresh button. – There’s other weird design oversights, like how it’s impossible to suggest edits on lists or captions. Who doesn’t love a tool that won’t work on large categories of content? Believe me, I could go on. All in all, the experience is intensely frustrating, and I know it’s not just me. After just a couple days of using this product in my work (at a tech company, so yeah, we understand computer programs), my whole team unanimously agreed that continuing to use Multicollab is out of the question. We’re going back to Google Docs with a great sense of relief. Even if it is extra steps, at least the steps work. This is far from a market-ready product. Judging from my experience, I’d say it’s barely in the user testing phase. If it were me, I’d be embarrassed to ask people to pay for such utter junk.

    This plugin is something I’ve been looking for. But sadly it’s not that good yet. After a few comments, I can’t mention another member again, also suddenly I can’t do copy paste inside the editor. So, I chose to deactivate the plugin for now. Hopefully it gets better.

    This an easy-to-use plugin—the best one I’m aware of—for those who have an editorial process. My wife is a blogger and I’m her editor. We’ve only begun taking advantage of it but I wanted to offer a positive shout out. This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by M. Lanza. This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by M.
