  • Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.20.

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.

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.

    We have used both their free and paid plugins and both are horrible! They do not integrate easily into the sites and this company will desperately try to deceive you and pull money out of your pockets first. Even after paying them high prices, what we get is a complete piece of crap withing you spend several weeks of your time talking to their clueless support team. Don’t buy their paid services. They are only trying to make money by offering a defective, sub-standard plugin and will not bother about customer satisfaction.

    This is not a very friendly plugin – it runs off their servers, which I’m not a big fan of. you have to pay – $299 a month is their low-end plan – and that only supports 30,000 registered users and you can’t add more users without bumping up to the $399. a month plan but, of course, they claim the $799.00 a month plan is the “Best Value”. If you have that kind of money to spend and you have the time to implement, the product works very well. That said, there are MANY plugins that allow you to do have social logins, sharing, and likes on your site – and they are all free. While this plugin does gather more information than others that is also a problem as you need to include that in your privacy disclosure “if you login with Linkedin we’re going to know your groups, events, your audio, video, pics, friends….” – it’s very invasive.
