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

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.

    This plugin is exactly what I was looking for! Not only does it work perfectly for my event management needs, but the support is also second to none. Well done! This topic was modified 2 weeks, 6 days ago by 3ringsjeff.

    I just discovered this plugin and love it so much more then the others I tested. It’s super easy to learn and use and performs flawlessly. I wanted a few customizations and Phillip provided amazing support. His response time is fast and updates were simple to implement. Thank you so much!

    You can’t accept payments for events unless you get the premium version, what an absolute joke. Doesn’t integrate with woocommerce either, uses its own integration, complete idiocy.

    This is such a great plugin, and I can’t reiterate enough how outstanding, fast and friendly the support is!!! Suggestions/questions I’ve made have even been taken into account and quickly implemented when possible.

    The plugin offers many options in its free version. It has a clean interface and is lightweight. It’s great for event registrations, which it offers right out of the box. Support is very helpful and responsive.

    Great features, very responsive and easy to use. What works well: Generous free version with features most plugins lock behind a paywall Recurring events included for free Integrates natively with the Gutenberg block editor Fast and responsive, clean and well-structured code Active developer with quick support response times Works with Elementor and other page builders via shortcode What could be better: The category and tag archive views feel unfinished Onboarding screen interrupts plugin activation flow I made a walk-through and full review of the current version on my YouTube channel @wordpress103

    I needed a simple plugin to allow people to commit to weekly event. It worked just as I had hoped. I just needed to make some css adjustments to get the style just how i wanted. Great support from developer and a solid product overall 🙌
