Directory rank vs rivals

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   If you haven’t used EmailChef yet, try them out. Great newsletter and email creating service for a good price. This plugin makes it easy to integrate with your Contact Form 7 plugin. I’m running WordPress 5.0.2 and it works perfectly.
