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’m giving 4 stars because even though you have amazing features and a great aesthetic overall, I think there are a few thing that could be improved. I had some trouble with changing the default icons for listing categories, and the very categories as well. For no coders-amateurs like me, it could be a little time consuming to go over each code line and keep moving forward, but overall you have done a great job so far. So, congrats!
