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.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow 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.

Very useful plugin, being able to get members without messing with the regular WP accounts is great.

I really like the way this plugin works, it’s exactly what it promises, and it’s easy to use, but the only thing I don’t understand is how I can post in the custom fields I created, using this add-on

User Interface sucks (but well it’s wordpress…) I need to be updating and downgrading constantly for this plugin to work … Everytime i shutdown my computer and try to develop my app on the next day, the plugin suddendly stops working… What a pain in the ass Also there is no proper documentation on how to develop with this plugin

Excellent plugin and even better support. Powerful enough to do pretty heavy lifting, but simple enough for a novice to use. I especially like that the all the short code options can be displayed while you are editing the post by typing the shortcode followed by help!
