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.

I ran into a pretty tricky issue with license activation that turned out to be caused by malformed JSON responses (due to debug notices on my side). Mustafa jumped in, quickly identified the root cause, and guided me straight to the fix. What I really appreciate is that he didn’t just give generic answers — he actually understood the problem deeply and helped debug it properly. Super responsive, super technical, and genuinely helpful. PaddlePress Pro itself is already a great plugin, but this level of support makes it a no-brainer. Highly recommended 👍

This plugin has made it easy for me to switch to Paddle as my payment processor. I was very relieved to have found it, after digging through Paddle’s documentation and seeing what it would take to integrate with my site. I have reached out to the dev twice with questions/requests and both times, my issue was resolved the same day. Just an all around good experience using this plugin!

PaddlePress Pro works like a charm. It integrates seamlessly with Paddle, has a great documentation and includes a ton of features that will make your life a lot easier. And on top of that, the customer support is absolutely fantastic. I contacted the developer with a very specific issue unique to my business and got a custom solution within an hour. That rarely happens these days and just shows how much care is being put into helping customers. Highly recommended!

It integrates seamlessly with Paddle, making it much easier to sell themes, plugins, and manage subscriptions. The plugin is user-friendly, with thorough documentation that has made setup and use a breeze. I’m using it in my WordPress theme shop. The developer is also great—quick to respond and very helpful whenever I’ve had questions. If you’re looking for a straightforward way to handle payments and subscriptions on your WordPress site, this plugin is definitely worth considering. 5/5. Recommended.

PaddlePress is a game-changer for seamless Paddle integration in WordPress. It’s incredibly easy to set up, and the developer’s exceptional support made my experience with this plugin exceptional. Highly recommended!

I’m using this plugin on my website and I can tell you that plugin works exactly as intended and it’s simple to configure and set up. Updates are also frequent and does not break things. Also, support is the best and the most responsive that I have ever come across in any plugin that I’m using or I have used. Developer will help you set up the plugin and explain how things works, even if he don’t need to. He is very responsive on emails, so that’s a very big plus – especially when the plugin like this one should work all the time. Anyway, if you are looking for such plugin, I recommend it a lot!
