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.

This looks like an awesome plugin. Please let me know when it will be available for WP 5.9 and running Neve theme. I currently see no difference in telephone formats before and after installing the plugin and activating it. Lemme know! Mike
