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
Occasionally updatedHow 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

I needed a plugin that would allow my users to enter a price of their choosing based on category. The official WooCommerce plugin for this feature is some 60 bucks a year. This free plugin, on the other hand, did exactly what I needed it to do. Just a little worried about how this will be maintained in the future, but if the plugin owner updates it as needed and keeps things secure, then this would literally be one of my favorite WordPress plugins.
