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

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.

    This plugin contains a cross-site-scripting vulnerability that was first discovered on July, 18th. Since then, me and other userts have tried to inform/ reach the plugin’s developer via the plugin’s support-forum, but never received a fix or reply. Therefore, i had to deactivate this plugin and would recommend others to do the same, due to mentioned security-issues mentioned above. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by webpie.
