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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

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.

Recent review vibe
read from the latest 2 reviews to 2022-09-16An older reviewer called it the easiest free QR generator they'd found, while the most recent one says the plugin has no settings and stopped working without warning that payment was required, leaving a client's printed QR codes dead.

Honestly, it sucks to use in WordPress. It has no settings. The app doesn’t request costs associated when you download it from WP, nor does it have a Pro Plan or Upgrade link that assumes to the user there is a cost associated… aaaand will shut down use if it isn’t paid for. My client is furious. Millions of dollars rides on this client and simply hinges on a QR code not working when he attended a conference, printed huge amounts of collateral at cost, a website and other outputs, only to have the QR Code app kick back and shows the end users that a cost is due for the app in WP. Amateur af. I’m hoping that the developers will get this back up and running for our website immediately. As is, this plugin only supports a short-code embed with no other options in WP. Doesn’t request costs to prevent it from shutting down on your project. Otherwise, I’d be happy. Who cares about paying for it if it works great. It’s the lack of transparency to the user in WP that really makes it worthless. It has potential, but not for WP currently. This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by DYNMC.
