Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

N/A

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    have used this plugin several times when I needed to test WordPress sites with certain content. Specifically it was a lifesaver as I built it my simple user listing plugin! Bugs fixed quickly and open to adding useful features. A+ support as well

    Practical and sophisticated at one time . Easily customisable, it allows you to re-create all the typical conditions of a real site. I love it!

    This plugin does exactly what it has been created. It has a clean interface, is fast, and has a wipe button—nothing more to add.
