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.

    A lot of clients want to spruce up their posts with Emojis and this plugin makes it super simple. For anyone familiar with Slack, the : format is helpful to get more playfulness into your posts!

    I love this plugin and so far it’s working great. But I miss the flags. I run a sports blog and I need a fast access to them. Would there be a way of including them? Thanks a ton.
