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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Hello!I really like this plugin, but we have two problems: ajax_url undefined on frontend; js validation for inputs broken: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'settings') at e.onload (frontend.js:1:3422) I guess this issues from one point – is a defining ajax path.

    It does what it promises. Thanks the team behind the plugin, for I could avoid using Zapier or Make.
