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.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow 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
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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

When will they start offering annual billing rather than monthly billing? All of the other vendors we deal with for our website, howardbirds.website offer annual billing, which makes our treasurer and board a lot happier! Bob Solem

I was using Updraft but kept having problems. Jetpack has been solid-gold reliable!

Something went AWOL on my website today, so a little tweak threw all the page widths out of whack and I nearly freaked out because I couldn’t track down the culprit. Then I took a deep breath opened Jetpack Vault Backup went back to earlier in the day when everything looked right and restored to that point … and voila my site was as it should be. I’ll be honest I didn’t think the backup service was worth the cost and had only been trying it out for a month to month while I launched my new site and handled a few tweaks. But after the ease of restoring my beautiful site in minutes has made me see the value of it.

Jetpack breaks often causing my aawp plugin to ‘fail to fetch’ malfunction.

The ability to restore to automatically-created restore points is invaluable. Every time you hit the “save” or “publish” button, a restore point is created. This makes it easy to restore to a point, say, just before the last page you updated. This is much more flexible than just restoring a previous full backup. Highly recommended!

Jet Pack is great while my site was being attacked and sabotaged while I was working on site. Jet pack was updating we as to what was happening, I wasn’t sure what was going on! They ran a back up saved my info and ultimately saved my website. While my site did go down they were so supportative helping me great thru all this. I can tell you i was terrified and it was great to have my friends at Jet Pack. Thank you for you help and kindness, my forever friends. Hey just so all of you know all of their products are great. .
