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

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.

    I installed the free version and was very easy to install. I had some issue with a name, and asked for their help on email and got very fast reply.

    This works better with Google Analytics for recording sales to Terms Customers. Changing the order status to Processing is recorded immediately, as opposed to our old way of having Terms Customers be put on hold / check method.
