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. annual revenue

N/A

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.

    There seems to be an issue with CF7 where duplicate emails are sent out, and the forms render errors/loading spinners twice as well. I’ve done a good bit of research and looked everywhere, but had no luck finding a fix for this. This plugin resolved the issue straight away with no configuration needed! Thank you!
