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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Another excellent product from this team. Respect.

Fluent Player is hands down one of the best WordPress video plugins I have ever used. It’s fast, lightweight, and incredibly easy to set up, even for more advanced use cases. The UI is clean, playback is smooth and the customization options give you full control without unnecessary complexity. What really impressed me is how stable and well-optimized everything feels in daily use. Videos load quickly, work flawlessly across devices, and the whole experience just feels polished from start to finish. This is clearly another flagship product from the Ninjas team. If you have used their other plugins, you already know the level of quality to expect. It’s a new plugin but highend product. Definitely worth it. Go and get it – PRO features are just crazy awesome.

This is a very nice video player. One of the features I like is that you have the option to not load your YouTube videos until the user clicks play. This is good for privacy, as I think with the regular core embed YouTube cookies are loaded when the page loads. The team has always been very responsive and helpful.

We were looking for a better way to display videos on our clients’websites without the big Youtube logo and we are not deceived. A large panel of parameters for setting eveything from chapters to CTA and overlays.As ususual with WPManageNinja, we are not deceived and FluentPlayer integrates very well, either with the current Fluent products, but also via the builders. We use Breakdance and the shortcode system is just perfect.And there’s an already very nice and generous FREE version, just have a try.

I have been testing out FluentPlayer for a while now and I really like it!One can control the appearance of the video player.One can remove Youtube embed ads.The UI UX works well. There are a lot of additional aspects I look forward to exploring.

After trying out Fluent Player during the Beta version, it’s clear that the team has worked hard to make this plugin simple, reliable and very innovative. If you are looking to embed your Youtube videos but have full control of the look and use the different features proposed by the plugin to develop your marketing, this plugin is for you!

I’ve been genuinely impressed with FluentPlayer so far. Considering that it’s still in its early stages, the pace of development has been outstanding. The team is consistently releasing updates, introducing new features, and actively improving the plugin based on user feedback. That level of commitment is something I really appreciate. Performance is another area where FluentPlayer shines. It’s fast, lightweight, and runs smoothly. What’s even more impressive is that many features that would typically be locked behind a premium plan in other video player plugins are available for free here. In my experience, FluentPlayer isn’t just another video player plugin-it’s a modern, well-designed solution with a lot of potential. If the team continues developing it at this pace, I believe it has every chance of becoming one of the best video player plugins for WordPress. Great work by the entire team, and keep up the excellent work!

If you’re a “VIP customer” here, you get the kind of offers companies usually reserve for their enemies. I can’t tell if they think their customers are completely delusional or if they actually believe their own nonsense. You’re forced to sit through an hour-long videostream, only to be hit with an offer that makes you wonder why you wasted that time listening to a highly aggressive, out-of-touch sales pitch. They’ve churned out so many products by now that they don’t even know which roadmap to prioritize. Anyone who follows the community and reads some of those arrogant, tone-deaf responses quickly regrets ever investing a single penny in their ecosystem. I’d bet there are people out there wrestling with the dilemma: do I leave and try my luck elsewhere, or stay locked in because I’ve already bought ten other plugins from them? An $800 video player for “valued customers”—coming from a shell company based in a tax haven that employs staff somewhere where labor costs 50 penny an hour… quite the achievement. That’s not exactly something I’d go on YouTube to celebrate myself for.
