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
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. 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.

It solved my mobile horizontal issue, with listing all the Desktop menu items to match the horizontal menu items on mobile device.

I really like this simple to use menu plugin but had a problem removing the old default menu from my theme. 15 mins after asking for support Andrea logged into my site and removed the old menu and then told me what had been done and how to improve it. I am blown away by this great support as technically the problem was with my theme and not this plugin! Thank you Andrea, I am very grateful

As there is no screenshot or demo, then I have to install it and create menu, only to get know that there isn’t possible to make an expandable menu items (in widget area). Not big difference between original menu and this menu.
