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

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.

    it works really well. I didn’t see any problem. It will be much better if it is improved a little more in terms of functionality.

    Hi, I enjoyed your plugin but today Worldfence security plugin warned me about the plugin having critical security issue and advised me to remove it. I hope you can look into this matter when you have time. Thanks very much for your work. Sola

    Really does the job well but you soon realize it is lacking two important pieces to be worth a paid product 1. Compose email has no means to target wordpress subscribers or groups. The TO: box has to be filled in with email,email,email… Would be really nice if you could just select all regsitered wordpress users by profile (subscribers). Even better if this would integrate with UAM and other membership plugins. 2. Reporting per email batch would be nice. For example send 2 bulk emails there is no way to get sent/read stats rollups for each to see how successful each campaign was. This is really a crucial feature. At the very least a EXPORT button to able you to export the log to excel so you can do your own stats rollups would be very useful.

    it is great, and the author will use other letters to replace the word “track” in the recode link. so that Email receivers will not feel “ah, you are watching me”

    I have been using plugin for a couple of years now for tracking email opens. I asked author for an enhancement and he was quick to respond and agreed to the change.
