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

N/A

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.

Positive Praise

Reviewers are glad someone built a way to strip out AI features they never asked for, and one says it worked on the plugins that were pushing them.

    I have recently been annoyed to see the proliferation of unwanted AI smeared all over WordPress. It might be nice if there was a global setting that plugin developers would respect to not show unwanted AI elements, but this is a good start of adversarial coding to remove the unwanted elements.

    Been trying to find ways to disable AI “features” that I never asked for and do not want. Yet developers seem hell-bent on forcing these down our throats in the name of following the latest trend. This plugin worked for me to disable AI features on WPForms and (most of) AIOSEO.
