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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I had looked at SeedPro, WPForms, Elementor, Astra. and possibly more. MailMunch is the best of the bunch if you’re looking for a forms-landing-pages-solution.

    I’d spent a day learning how to make a pop-up with various plugins + Mailchimp and when I finally got it to work, I found out that Mailchimp conflicted with my advertising network. I then randomly saw a recommendation for MailMunch and it honestly took me 10 minutes to set up a pop-up opt-in form! I can’t believe how easy it was. Works a treat and the fact that the basic version is free is brilliant! Would 100% recommend!
