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

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 is the perfect plugin if you want to learn all the hot words used by marketing-companies to promote any web-related products! It’s a big and fancy way to add a like-button to your page. If you want any more you’ll need to pay.

    I normally don’t take the time to leave a review unless I really like the product I’m using. Unless it’s a product I really dislike. This plugin is not worth the time at all. I am not a Newbie by any means when it comes to WordPress and using plugins. I installed this plugin and spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out how to use it. Total disaster. No real directions, other than plastering links to their own website and social media pages. I would throw myself off a building before I spent money on this plugin. There are plenty of other useful, easier, & straight-forward plugins to use out there. *Shout-out to the Author. Make a plugin that users don’t have to spend forever trying to figure out how to use it, let alone learn it. We don’t like wasting time, & time is MONEY. I’ve wasted both in the past 30 minutes bothering with this plugin.

    I added this plugin to my website as I was tired of the loading time and bloat of the other Facebook plugins. Facebook Master does not use Ajax or Javascript which makes it very lightweight on your website and faster loads. The customer service is also excellent as they promptly replied when I had a question. Highly recommended.

    This plugin can be a bit confusing, but it serves its purpose well.

    Made the mistake of paying. Bad documentation. Updates that break the plugin. Ads in the widget even on the paid version – and no way to remove them. Hoping that clicking the link for “Advanced” would lead to some actual help or documentation, I clicked it in the widget. Wrong. All it does is lead to a Sales page, trying to re-sell me the **** plugin I already paid for. Don’t waste your money. There are other plugins that do the same, and have better documentation, and are ad-free, FOR free.
