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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    This plugin has been useful to us till the moment we changed the owner of our website and started to have problems with the new Stripe account. You must know that Codection will charge you for their help if you have any problems with their plugin and nobody else – either WooCommerce or Stripe help centers – is able to solve it. Other than that, everything is ok.

    Hello, Can you also create an end date subscripition for woocommerce. currently they only give “day/month/year” but just like a start date our products also have subscription for end date. Or do you know any such plugin?

    This plugin saved us! We had tried SO many of the official premium options but none of them worked for what we needed (even if they sounded like they would). Then we found this and it does exactly what it says it does and didn’t require any weird workarounds. Super easy to use, and allows our students to pre-register for courses, pay a registration fee, and only begin their subscription once the course begins. I can’t thank you enough!

    Thank you so much for this plugin! I needed this feature and would’ve had to pay another 79.99 annually for a plugin that did this and a whole bunch of extra stuff I didn’t need. Thanks!

    Me parece un plugin estupendo en todos los sentidos pero hice una consulta al desarrollador por email y tardó en responderme algo más de una hora. Aunque es verdad que luego me solucionó el problema.

    Hi! Every time I set a date that is more than 90 days in the future, the following error popups: ‘Free trial perod cannot exceed 90 days’ >>> Also, is there a way to set the month and the day of the first payment… but not the year? I would like not having to update the year EVERY year. Thanks!

    Was perfect solution for our subscriptions that are twice per year- but start on specific dates — eg Mar 1, Sep 1.
