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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

An earlier reviewer calls it perfect for distance-based delivery pricing, while the newest review reports the transaction quota draining far faster than expected on a paid plan, with no reply.

   I bought the subscription of 1000/month for $30. I dont know for some reason, the plugin accumulated 645 transaction for just 2 days. I only did 3 transactions, site is still in test mode. It says in the description that it will be base on 1000 transaction. I need clarification on this matter.

   This plugin is perfect for my business. It allows me to customize shipping costs based on linear distance and route distance for our delivery trucks. We have a fleet that delivers to a huge area on flatbeds, and this allows me to charge a minimum cost + cost per KM for real time delivery calculation at checkout. Additionally, I can set flat rate or free shipping for smaller options and choose where those can be delivered to based on distance, province, or country. The team (Paul) were amazing at helping answer my setup questions and even built a few options into their newest release to help meet my needs. I’ve been searching for a shipping plugin for a year, and this is the first one that was able to meet all of my needs.
