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. 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.

    I will never understand the incompetent decision to remove this in the first place, or at least give us the option to infinite load. I have more than 2k items in my media library and clicking that damn load more buttons is a task in it self. Thanks for this!

    I have under a thousand images in my media library. Most of it shop stuff. This plugin lets me scroll without needing to press the Load more button.
