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.

I wanted the facility to display an “Advert of the Week” on the bottom of each of my blog posts. Once installed, Promotion Box allowed me to create an advertisement just as I would any other blog post. The advert then appears at the bottom of each of my blog posts. Quick and simple – I like it!
