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

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.

The one review here is happy: setup took about 10 minutes with the quick start, and the pay per use model beats subscription plugins and credit card fees.

    This pay per use plugin is a welcome change in the sea of subscription only plugins. I used their 3 step quick start process and was able to set it up within 10 minutes. It was easy enough to put 100s of articles behind the pay per use paywall and don’t have to shell out hefty credit card fees.
