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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

FAQ Concertina is VERY INTUITIVE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, and VISUALLY APPEALING. This plugin does exactly what you need it to; no jargon, no hassle, no “figuring it out.” It just works; and without a lick of code! I looked at several other providers and none were quite what I wanted/needed. I am not a developer and my two websites are tools of my real business. My visitors are often new to the nuances of my services and capabilities, but I can’t bury every visitor in every aspect of our program. Well-designed FAQ’s (generously referenced around my sites) were the perfect solution. There are no stupid questions, just unasked and “unanswered” ones. And you’re not on your own. I had one small issue and the author came to my rescue immediately.

Maybe it gets messed up by Divi, but the categories don’t get carried over into the Add FAQ screen. You have to enter a new category every time you add a FAQ. Also, I can’t find a place to copy the short code. The way it works it is less than useless.

I Love this plugin! I am using it for my “About page” and a “Newsletter” page. I love how it looks and how it functions. I love how I can use it for different things on my site.I struggled with setting it up, I had to learn more about shortcodes and entering slugs into shortcodes, but the support I got from Michael from the website was fantastic.

I have tried a few other FAQ tools, but none were as straightforward as this one, while still offering great flexibility. Great extension.

I like the simplicity of this plugin. Works just like it should. Very intuitive. And I like that it is light-weight in terms of file size. Also, the plugin author has been very responsive.
