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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    learning curve is very steep with the plugin but it simply works and i fell in love with it! i use it for everything: fetching flight prices, weather data, syncing wordpress blocks / content across different sites / domain through wp rest api to name a few!

    Bernhard was fantastic in assisting with an issue I believed I was having with the plugin. It was my fault user error because I had spacing in my query/script. I definitely appreciate his effort and fast assistance in diagnosing and resolving the problem. Kevin

    This plugin does everything that I need it to do, and when the guys who made my API fell down on the job, the JSON Content Importer guys really helped me out and I was able to get the job done. Highly recommended!

    The JSON Content Importer extension may be basic, but it perfectly met my needs. Its straightforward approach to handling JSON data, coupled with responsive support, allowed me to achieve the desired results promptly. Kudos to the team for a tool that gets the job done efficiently!
