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.

Works perfect and allowed me to do what I needed a simple click rather than hassle with Googling a bunch of random code and putting it in the functions.php file.

This makes everything easier for me, I can now change a number of Genesis settings straight from the backend, without any manual edits.
