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.

Couldn’t be easier… Works flawlessly It’s a pain trying to make up passwords for all the sites I use. This tool is so simple, does random generation of numbers, letters, upper-lower case and even special characters. Your choice.
