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.

Reviewers keep calling out the customization options, the clean light-to-dark switch with no flash, and fast support, though one reviewer notes an unfixed CVE and an older buyer says the pro side never replied.

    Excellent plugin! It lets you work with dark mode in a wide range of ways. Plus, it has something others don’t: the ability to control when it activates automatically. It’s fantastic!And the support service is amazing—attentive and incredibly fast.

    I tried several dark mode plugins and this one is a very good one, and it doesn’t fill your website with a pile of extra code (and it does not “flash” when you go from light to dark).

    It’s an intuitive plugin with a modern interface that makes implementing a dark mode very easy. The only downside is that they haven’t fixed CVE-2024-50466 yet.

    I bought the LTD on Appsumo and wasn’t expecting much… boy was I wrong. This plugin is AMAZING! It’s so well thought out, the UI is beautiful, there are a ton of customization options, and the preset themes are really nice. Thank you for creating this! x This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by scandidesignco.
