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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Nice plugin to have when using WordPress websites where it is now possible to send abuse reports to AbuseIPDB as well as block traffic with bad AbuseIPDB ratings, just what a webmaster needs.//Anders
