Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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. 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.

Reviewers say it does one job and does it well, it works right after activation and the code stays light, with the only ask being a way to sort users by enabled or disabled status.

    Easy to use, and just works on activation. I can look at the list of site users, and click the “Disable” link to disable a user. In the user listing, there is a new column noting which users are disabled. Very handy!

    Il fait ce qu’il doit faire et fonctionne très bien. La seule chose que je rajouterais c’est un système pour trier les comptes par statut (activer-désactiver) dans la liste des comptes. This topic was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by nerkur.
