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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

30 of the last 30 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 25 of those landed between 2025-10-10 and 2025-11-03.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    It has been an excellent solution for managing events on our nonprofit site. Setting it up was quick and straightforward, and the clean, professional design immediately improved the look of our events page. The variety of viewing options allows us to present events in the format that best fits each page. I appreciate the seamless Google Calendar integration—it saves time and ensures accuracy. Updates have been consistent and never caused compatibility problems. The free version provides plenty of functionality, and the Pro features like recurring events are worth the upgrade. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-maintained plugin that makes event management effortless and visually appealing.

    We’re a network of community organizations using MegaCalendar, and we absolutely love the shared event feature. When one team adds an event, it automatically appears on everyone else’s calendars. It’s made collaboration effortless and keeps all of us completely up to date.

    I used this for a community website and it’s been fantastic. Creating events is quick, and the interface is very intuitive. The multiple calendar views give visitors flexibility in how they browse events, and everything looks great on mobile devices. Google Calendar integration works without a hitch, saving me from double entry. The plugin has been updated regularly and plays well with my theme and other plugins. It’s rare to find a calendar plugin that’s both powerful and easy to use—this one nails it perfectly.
