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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

17 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 8 of those landed between 2016-05-23 and 2016-05-28.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    I switched to GraphComment to improve my site’s comment section, and it work fine. It makes conversations so much easier to follow, even with lots of replies. What Is best : Clean interface : Looks great and keeps everything organized. Useful features : Sorting and reactions make comments more engaging. Easy import : Did a rapid import of my old comments from WP. Helps me manage comments quickly and easily. Overall, an awesome plugin that I’d recommend to anyone who wants to boost discussions on their site.

    If you want to use the voting function, you must pay. Not free voting plugin. You must pay for voting function. If you do not pay, WordPress default comment function is better than this. If you want voting, you must pay. Not free. No. Not free.
