Estimated value

Est. acquisition value

≈$27K range $5.6K–$130K

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
  • Annual price per customer. $79–$199 a year, typical for AI plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
  • Install base. 7K–8K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

    I tried so many chatbots, they were all hallucinating, it was so hard to set them up to work efficiently, so just when I was about to give up, I found Hyve. It’s a much simpler chatbot, but sometimes, simple is really good. I used the custom data feature to mimic as many user prompts as possible to increase accuracy in responses and it works like a charm. I had to tweak the Open AI versions a couple times but now it’s fantastic. I do wish they had more customizations, but they were incredible with their customer service, so responsive, and they’re still building so they’re open to feature request, so I’m sure many more features will be coming. Totally worth the one time fee for something that actually works!

    Je travaille en France et j’ai récemment installé le plugin Hyve afin d’intégrer un chatbot sur le site d’un lycée.Au départ, j’ai rencontré quelques difficultés, notamment pour ajouter de nouvelles connaissances à ma base de données. J’ai donc contacté l’assistance, et je tiens à souligner leur réactivité exemplaire : nous avons échangé une dizaine de mails, effectué plusieurs tests, et en une journée à peine, le problème a été entièrement résolu. L’origine du souci venait du type de clé OpenAI utilisé. En effet, il ne suffisait pas d’être connecté : il fallait cliquer sur “Start Building” dans le panneau de contrôle, puis ajouter quelques crédits (j’ai mis 5 € ). À partir de ce moment-là, tout a parfaitement fonctionné. J’ai également constaté un léger décalage d’environ une demi-heure avant que les données personnalisées ne se mettent à jour correctement dans la base, mais depuis, tout fonctionne parfaitement. Je suis donc très satisfait de ce plugin. Le fait de payer 150 € à vie est particulièrement avantageux, d’autant qu’il suffit ensuite de régler les frais liés aux requêtes (via OpenAI), qui restent raisonnables. En résumé : . Excellent plugin, simple et puissant une fois configuré. . Support technique réactif et compétent. . Bon rapport qualité/prix sur le long terme. Je recommande vivement Hyve et félicite toute l’équipe pour la qualité de leur assistance ! This topic was modified 8 months, 4 weeks ago by smounier.

    So far, the only AI that has provided useful answers based on the content of my website. However, adjustments regarding the language still have to be made manually in the PHP file. A custom SVG icon is currently only possible by replacing an existing icon. I hope that the missing settings and options will be added soon.

    The author of this plugin promotes racism; the application blocks access to the API for some, in the author’s opinion, unworthy countries (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan).
