High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.30, well behind 6.8.

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
No release in a yearHow 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.

Ive been checking it up for a while, and just when I was trying to seeting it, realized that you must register on their site to use this free version for 14 days. Well, it looks it work great but a free version for 14 days is not free at all. The Settings of the plugin are not well explained and because of these two things Im giving just 3 stars. In the future will check again hopping that 14 days will change to forever, keeeping the minimum options of course.

This service gives adblock users the option to either remove adblock or pay per page view. It seems to work great, started to get paid by the company who created the plugin. They transfer revenue collected every month in a timely manner. Their stats are also very insightful, definitely recommend users to try it out. Its easy to use, setup and customize everything from the design of the popup to all the copy displayed in the popup. They also have a few customizable options, you can decide wether user can close popup or not, how long till the ad block users gets a popup and many more. I recommend it to anyone who relies on ads as a source of revenue for their site.
