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.

    I need to do this a lot when redesigning websites for people. So relieved to find this plugin. Works as expected and when a server issue prevented me from downloading the entire library, it was easy to filter by year and export one year at a time. Effortless.
