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.

How 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

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.

    Great product, except the persistent message nagging me to leave a review (on all my sites). I hope leaving a review makes that disappear.

    I came across this plugin by accident. Didn’t even know I needed it and then I had that light-bulb moment! Now I’m installing it on all my sites! lol. Thanks for the hard work Tomáš 🙂
