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.

Installing this plug-in resulted in a pretty serious failure to render content properly from blog posts on our home page. Despite several attempts to get the plug-in configured properly, nothing fixed the issue. Fast? Sure. It immediately messed things up. Easy? No. There was no instruction provided and the SharedCount process was abysmal. It would not actually let me sign up my site… Very unfortunate.

I find a lot of social sharing plugins I’ve installed are complicated, freeze up and/or buggy, and take a long time to load. Fast & Easy Social Sharing isn’t like that at all. It loads really fast, it’s simple and it works. Highly recommend installing this if your looking for a sharing plugin.
