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

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.

    The plugin idea and implementation is really good, as it doesn’t seem to exist any other plugin that switch themes “on the fly”, without requiring you to create menus and options for the second theme to work. The plugin works as expected when used to preview themes on posts or pages, but the part that changes the theme permanently for specific posts doesn’t seem to work unless you modify the code manually to correct two mistakes, and the author doesn’t seem to reply any longer on the support forums to correct them… Anyway, thank you for the plugin.

    It is used to switch themes on a permanent, page-by-page basis. Other similar plugins were unstable, but this plugin is stable. I hope it will be available for a long time.

    As they say, everything ingenious is simple. This is a real salvation from a ton of problems with one click. If some plugin you need uses Bootstrap (like Classified Listing by RadiusTheme) and conflicts with your theme, The Freesoul Switch Theme plugin will help you. Do you really need a network? If all you want is for different collections of web pages to look very different, then you can probably achieve what you want in a single site by using a plugin to switch themes, templates, or stylesheets — Freesoul Switch Theme plugin. We are looking forward to the release of PRO for switching themes for custom pages.
