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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    My plugin’s renewal date was approaching, so I went through the renewal process, but I couldn’t get it to activate properly. When I contacted support, they responded quickly and courteously, and I was able to renew it without any issues—it was a huge help.

    We really like the Photo Gallery Plugin. The painter’s paintings really come into their own. In addition, the service of Supsystic is great. It’s nice to see that there are companies that put honesty above profit!

    Had a problem with editing my galleries after installing PRO version. I’m a one-man-band without a webmaster. The support provided by Supsystic was exemplary. They stuck at the trouble shooting and eventually asked for access to my Admin. They went in and fixed what had seemed to be an intractable issue. Above and beyond the level of product support you expect these days. Great stuff!

    We like the different layouts that are available with this plugin. Good product.

    The page “Gallery with Horizontal Scroll” explains nowhere that the Pro edition is needed to replicate all the features. If that had been clear, I might have trialed the Pro edition. But I don’t appreciate the bait and switch, and I think it speaks poorly of Supsystic.

    I have been using Photo Gallery Pro for a few years now, and have previously and continuously tested several other gallery plugins for WordPress. What makes me choose Photo Gallery Pro is:Great flexibility and time savings, once you have invested the time to get to know the program.Especially the image database with the option of bulk updating of image attributes, categorizing images and letting end users use categories to filter the display of images is a great advantage for the user experience. The ability to easily switch between different types of display of image collections and lightbox is of great value.

    I came back to a site I’d made for a client and the gallery no longer worked. Subtracting features from the free version was a bad idea. Downright Trumpian…. This topic was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by frankdan.

    Used to be a great plugin. Stopped working one day. Sad.
