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.

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

N/A

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.

    I have been using it for many websites, and working great. Kindly upgrade the plugin and it’s dependent libraries to make it compatible with latest versions.

    Works very well with Azure AD, nice and simple but enough functionality. Only tricky part was the attribute mapping: These can be found in Azure AD, click the edit button on User Attributes & mapping, then copy and paste the full claim names in the first column.

    Working on github with the admin was a pleasure. This plugin may not have everything, but it has the basics. What it didn’t have I built myself (Remember Me feature), and the admin was happy to incorporate.

    I wish I came across this SAML plugin first! Very easy to install and configure and does everything we need it to, even though we aren’t using OneLogin but our own IdP instead.
