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.

    Finally I discovered an attractive and flexible plugin which is very useful for my e-learning site for taking quick notes. The plugin has the flexibility of customisation to change the text and labels for the Notes Title and subtitle from the backend settings. The plugin author appears to be very positive about user feedback and requests for support. I have asked him for a solution tip on how to have a button like shortcode placed on the page/place of your choice so that when it is clicked, the Notes window opens . This is to make the pop-up note window open from any place of your choice.Once again, thank you for such a beautiful and efficient plugin.
