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.

    Didn’t work for 5.8.3 Arabic RTL language. Plus almost every feature in this plugin is Pro-version only!

    I have been struggling with spam on my wp. But I do not need to let users register on my wp for and be able to comment anymore, Fancy Comments WordPress solved this problem. The plugin works properly without any problem. Now I can give users the opportunity to comment on my wp. I can choose which place I want comments to appear on wp and have full control over the comments. Everyone should buy this plugin for their wp.
