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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

I ave been through the forums and blogs and there is a common issue with the later versions of WP… there seems to be no way to edit an entry in the Gravity Forms database. And it also seems that nobody is chiming in to help people with this problem. Oh well, what a shame. Uninstall

I’ve been using gravity forms for a while now and it a great way to make forms and set up conditional logic. But I am not happy with their support. They don’t offer a lot solutions and mostly tell you to install a certain plugin to see if there’s some conflicting plugins or the they ask you to turn off all your plugins to find the issue. These are not reasonable solutions for a large multisite or really any site. I struggled for a few months with an upload issue that could have been resolved in a few days. But the support team never directed to me the correct documentation on the api( which I found on my own months later). They simply told me to hire a backend developer (which we had) and assumed that it was a certificate issue(which I made sure it was not). But overall for a paid service I find it unreliable because I do come across random issues that support isn’t able to help me with.

The setting for date format applied via Admin Dashboard is not working properly. I set it as dd-mm-yyyy but then also it shows mm/dd/yyyy. Is there any way to fix this?

I’ve been using G-forms as my storefront tool, with payment linked to a PayPal Pro account. It was a bit of a struggle to get these two things connected (not that intuitive on the G-Form end of things) but that part works. What G-Forms does NOT do, however, is push any product data to PayPal. So, on the PayPal side of things, I see that something was purchased by someone on a certain date, but I have no idea WHAT it is! I’ve invested seven months in trying to resolve the issue. I’ve hired two different high-end coders who can’t find a fix. PayPal is set to receive this information, and the folks at Gravity Forms say that it should be moving over – but it isn’t. This, to me, seems like a bug worth G-Form investing some real time in solving, but that hasn’t happened. It has cost me a great deal of time and money. Now I need to find a new payment solution.

The entries do not appear properly in the WP Dashboard. Submitted a support question and have not heard back for two weeks. I realize this is a free plugin but this does not motivate me to make a purchase of the pro version.
