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
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.

This plugin handles all the complicated stuff around taking donations on a wordpress site. Integrates multiple payment methods (paypal, Dwolla, etc) into one, secure, user friendly experience. Highly recommended.
