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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I’ve been using Ghostkit for almost 5 years now. However it was the first time I paid for pro last year.] Turns out the “pro” is only updated once a year, leaving you with months of waiting for bugs to be resolved. Free version isn’t getting much love either. I love Ghostkit and wished to see it emerge as the pioneering block plugins, but sorry, they just don’t deliver.

    in addition to the icon block that can support svg, it is also supported by the css and javascript editing fields, just with this you don’t need to install several plugins

    So many great blocks and abilities. Super powers the editor. Only thing i’ve found is some of the accessibility on some blocks could be improved.

    I’ve been using Ghost Kit on a couple of sites and find it really easy to use, plus the features and blocks provide almost everything you need in one place.
