How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Positive PraiseFeature requests

Reviewers keep calling it a must-have that replaces several plugins, and the most recent one asks for finer REST API control like disabling specific routes.

    Hello, Nice plugin! You might consider adding more advanced REST API management, such as the ability to disable only specific routes, or to enable/disable routes on a per-plugin (responsible for creating its routes) basis while leaving everything else untouched. It would be great!

    I have been using this plugin for nine years now. I have tried some other plugins that have similar functions. But this one proves to be the best, and over the years this plugin has become a must-have plugin.

    I seriously love it. I had to use 4 plugins to do this before and some custom stuff I had to write. So much simpler this way. Thanks
