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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    II am very satisfied with the purchase of Combo Blocks. I had to make something complicated with accordions within accordions for one of my clients and this was in included at Combo Blocks. But they were still developing it and it was a bit of a search for the right shape and form. But Azizul Raju from Comby Blocks gave me very good support with always a quick reply. Perfect thinking along the way with me. Really spendid! So Combo Blocks comes highly recommended!

    I recently started using ComboBlocks, formerly known as Post Grid, and I’m really impressed! This plugin has made it much easier to create and organize content on my website. What I love most is how it solves common issues with styling and features in the Gutenberg editor. The interface is user-friendly, allowing me to customize and showcase my posts in an attractive grid layout effortlessly. Overall, ComboBlocks is a fantastic tool that enhances both the functionality and appearance of my WordPress site. I highly recommend it.

    I purchased the Pro version of the ComboBlocks plugin to get the Post Tags functionality, but it didn’t work. The implementation was chaotic as the documentation was terribly inadequate. Initially the dev wrote back and gave very cryptic advice, none of which worked. I explained that I use Elementor Pro and he admitted his plugin didn’t work on that platform, but urged me to wait for him to fix that. He then claimed he fixed it, but it did not work. It never worked on my posts, and he stopped responding to my support requests, even when I sent in screenshots of what I was seeing. I’ve had to file a complaint with my credit card company because this plugin was a huge waste of my money and time, didn’t work as advertised, and his support was terribly lacking, especially when he quit responding. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ALPHA LEVEL SOFTWARE.

    Needed a replacement for sharing other posts after AddThis stop proving their services. Combo Blocks works great once you figure it out. It’s not the most intuitive UI but they have great support to answer questions and point you in the right direction. This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by Big Geek Daddy.

    In the past weeks I have had 2 issues with PostGrid Combo. Azizul has provided overnight solutions in both cases. What a support and what a service. Keep up the great work fellows!

    I’m delighted with the Post Grid Combo plugin for WordPress. Even with the free version, it has lifted the appearance of the Blog page on my site. It offers many choices to customize the appearance. I’d recommend adding the ability for automatic excerpts. It could take it to the next level in Blog summary.
