How 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. 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.

The one review here is warm about the plugin's value, though the reviewer couldn't get it installed and wants a version that works on single-site WordPress.

    This is an extra-ultra-awesome contribution, thanks for your job. But, hard to instal, I dont have success still… ..and, there are no way to do a similar work, about h5p, for single wordpress installations sites? Its already hard persuade to the teachers to use a regular wordpress site to improve their use of the techno education tools based on wordpress (the best choice for education, in my opinion)… imagine how hard is for the regular teacher manage a wpmu site. Thanks a lot anyway! This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by Tele-Cole. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by Tele-Cole. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by Tele-Cole.
