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. 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.

Deteriorating PraiseFeature requests

Early reviewers loved how simple the checker was, but the recent ones say the free version only checks .com despite what the description promises, and the newest reviewer gets "already taken" for every domain they search.

    Even though the domain is not available in the internet, searching for any domain I always get the response “Sorry, [domain] is already taken!”

    Checks only “.com” in free version. Deleted plugin. Not recommended

    Not what I needed. Free version only checks availability for .com domains, not any TLD as in description. One star for inaccurate description. Otherwise it seems to work.
