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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Perfect little plugin. Instead of bloated plugins that you have to pay for every year, just set up this plugin and use it freely forever. And if you’re worried about Google Consent Mode v2 and the integration of Google Tag Manager with this plugin, don’t worry because it’s also easy to do it by following the instructions on YouTube on how to setup Consent Mode v2 with any cookie-banner and GTM.[link removed by moderator; links are not permitted in reviews.] This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by cvladan.

Really like the small footprint and unobstructed interface. It’s setup-and-forget kind of plugins which many others forget to consider. Also made in Austria!
