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.

    This plugin has made managing my WordPress menus so much easier! I can schedule items to appear and disappear automatically, which is perfect for limited-time offers and seasonal updates. It’s intuitive, works seamlessly, and saves me a ton of manual work. Highly recommend for anyone who wants more control over their menus.

    I love how Menu Expiration Control lets me schedule menu items—perfect for promotions or seasonal content. Super easy to use and saves me from constantly updating menus. Would be even better with a heads-up before items expire, but overall, it does exactly what it promises.
