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.

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 plugin works as described, but as long as the developer went to the trouble of creating a settings page, it doesn’t make sense he would word it so confusingly. Why not just have a heading that says “Hide Admin Bar for:” and then two checkboxes “Admins” and “Non-Admins”? Plus it should have options to pick which roles hide the admin bar, not just two. I recommend Admin Bar Disabler instead (https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-bar-disabler). Not only is it easier to understand the settings, but more importantly you can choose who sees the Admin Bar for all the different roles.
