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.

    This plugin works nicely for me – not problems at all. It’s simple and straightforward and does the job. Thank you to the developer! I did network activate it even though I didn’t notice anywhere in the directions that I should. Seemed logical to me that network activation would be necessary. You have to find the exact name of the slug for the category, tag or custom post type you want to use and type it in yourself. There is no drop down list. Don’t let that deter you – it’s easy. This seems to be a nice little plugin that handles an important function. I used it to have a recently added list of posts from one multisite site to other subsites. Worked great!
