How 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

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    While most of the events are synced automatically, it’s really good to have a manual override in WordPress

    the support via ticket/email isn’t as expedient as a live agent / phone call, but for the price, and the functionality, the plugin can’t really be beat. I had the import facebook event pro plugin and they walked me through how to activate and import the events properly as long as I provided enough screenshots and info in my messages.
