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.

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.

Great plugins! Just need to figure out how they work… but once I do, they’re really well made

I think this plugin is not good at all. Plus the customer service is bad, to me it seem that person not really know how to addressing or resolve my issue.

Плагин выключен. И не больше не работает. Поддержка исчезла. На странице их сайта замок. The plugin is disabled. And does not work anymore. Support disappeared. On the page of their site is the castle.

The plugin does post information as specified and was a decent option when we used several work arounds to get our posts up cleanly. We are no longer using this plugin because of several broken features. Browsing through the support page, it looks like all of my complaints are on there with ZERO response from the developers. The apostrophe issue is the major one (code &x27; instead of ‘), embeds are not working as they should, word wrapping instead of breaking and the text editor has a scrolling window that continuously types content instead of wrapping making it very hard to see content. We need simplicity in design just like the WordPress Posts and Pages. Appreciate the effort as it is a powerful tool, just not 100% complete yet. I have non web people using the plugin and they need simple simple simple.

Wish there is more tech support.

Not sure why many gave so little stars. For me it works quite well. What it lacks is the ability to add it as a shortcode to any page. Right now the only way to add it is to a post, which is very limiting. Anyways, super useful plugin. Thanks!
