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.

low confidence

Est. annual revenue

$0–$130 ≈$11

Est. acquisition value

$0–$590 ≈$24

We can't see a pro tier, so this plugin may earn little or nothing from these installs. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.05%–0.5% of active installs pay for something. No pro tier is visible, so this band starts near zero.
  • Annual price per customer. $49–$129 a year, typical for Performance plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
  • Install base. 100–200 active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.
