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.

    I was looking for a plugin to create custom tables in my wordpress database. I found this one. It is secure and very easy to create/modify tables and add/modify fields/records without knowing SQL… I just love it. The table can be used as any other database table in wordpress (the table name you gave is just prefixed with “customtables_table_” and each row of the table is prefixed with “ct_”, all data can be accessed via $wpdb… Data can be extracted and displayed using a PHP function. Perfect in my case.

    I have been looking for a Simple Elegant Easy Soultion expandable for custom tables and forms in mysql database and this so far is checking off all the boxes. Just not sure why this isn’t being really noticed. Awesome Thanks!
