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. 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!
