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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

Does exactly what is asked of it, resources for developers, what more could you ask for?

Great plugin, does exactly what I need on my blogs. Happy to see that the developer is still working on it too. I love that you can select wp users in the credit box, this opened up a great workflow for me where I have multiple photographers contributing to my blog.

Our website uses images from the most diverse sources. This plugin helps us show in an elegant way the credits of those images. It is very simple to configure and the free support is simply excellent.

An excellent plugin that works well and provides a very professional-looking media credit below images. Kudos also to the plugin author for assisting me (and my client who edits YachatsNews.com) by quickly providing a mechanism for swapping the order of the media credit and caption (see the support forum for details.) THANKS! 🙂 This topic was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by BruceRawles.

Finally, a plugin that does exactly what it claims to do, with no fuss or bother. I wanted a simple text form in the Image Details dialog box for photo credits, and this plugin delivered. Further to that, props to @pputzer, the developer of this plugin, for being helpful and super quick pushing out a fix (in a matter of hours!) when I discovered a slight bug in the plugin. Top notch!
