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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I am currently using Mappress for a client project, and it was the best solution I could find to meet all of my client’s needs. Most importantly, the support from the Mappress team has been stellar and has saved me many hours of frustration.

    I spent quiet a lot of time to look for a good maps plugin. I tried 5 or 6 diferent. I found MapPress Maps for WordPress the best. In its free version, you can do a lot. And if you want more, you can have a premium version with many more options. When I tried to use this plugin, I found an issue. I wrote to the founder, Chris. He answered me diferent times until he found THE solution. He was not forced to do it because I am a free user. But he did. And I do thank him. If you are looking for a great maps solutions, here is the best plugin.
