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.

can’t save settings, using fashionpro theme by themejunkie.

Just like others have said in the one support thread: after saving the options nothing is actually saved. Non-functional plugin. Another reason for the score (as if it could get any worse) is that it adds to dashboard bloat by adding a separate menu.
