High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, well behind 6.8.

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.

What its installed base runs

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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

≈$19 range $5–$77

Est. acquisition value

≈$65 range $12–$350

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. 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. $49–$129 a year, typical for WordPress plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
  • Install base. 20–30 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.

    Hi, Lovely solution and a nifty plugin. May I as if it support sending quote to client and changing the currency symbol to our local currency? We are looking to invest into the plugin and answering these questions will help us to make informed decision. With Regards

    if you are looking for a system to create pdf invoices for “manual” payment, then invoice king pro is great. i was easy able to adapt it to german, and to other specific needs for invoices in my country. a “publish and send” button would be nice instead of the two step process of publishing the invoice and then not to forget to send it 😉

    Cannot really fault the plugin. It does what it says on the box, however if you are looking for a fully fledged heavy invoicing system, then this is not it. But no other plugins come close to what this does as a WordPress invoicing plugin. Support is responsive. Ticks all my boxes.

    There’s some bug when you’re saving the invoice using defaul theme: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/lapetit1/public_html/huriata.com/wp-content/plugins/invoice-king-pro/themes/default/invoice_html.php on line 46 Anyway, you’re plugin is easy to understand and easy but it lacks of some report tools. I don’t mind to pay for it if there could be reports for: Total sellings (and for day, week or month), unpaid invoices, and having a client’s history. Would be great if all the reports are ready for being sent by email (or PDF). BTW, you’re templates are in good price.

    Looking good, easy to use, can use some more help instructions: – needs write permissions in .\outputs folder – Invoice can be viewed and emailed as PDF in the ‘All invoices’ menu. – No front-end HTML view of invoice, which you may expect for clients. But it’s not really necessary. The following features would make it a killer plug-in: – Recurring invoices, sending them automatically – Sending email copy to a globally set cc: email adress – Custom invoice numbering format (Ymdxx = 2013071101, 2013071102, 2013110703, ..)
