How 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.

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.

    Excellent plugin, It has a simple and very detailed user interface from which you can select which elements to show and to which user roles. The elements that appear are wordpress default, also all other menu elements created by plugins and themes. Thank you!
