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.

I’ve been using this app for almost 3 years now. Features are excellent and so is the Customer Service. Stefano is very responsive and he always looked at my concerns. The app is regulary improving also. Thanks, PPC! Thank you, Stefano! Keep it up!

The ONLY valid plugin to manage editor payment at any level. Tons of options but easy to configure. Great support!

I bought a pro version, there is no other similar plugin. Software is good and work. Support is great. There were things I did not understand, but Stefano was very polite, helpful and responsible. I hope the plugin continues to grow. Thank you and all the best Team(Post Pay Counter)!

Honestly, this plugin just works! and works well! I also received some of the best support in a long time and I have absolutely 0 regrets buying the Pro version. 100% would recommend / buy again!

This plugin works like a charm and makes our job a lot easier…does what it promises without much fuss…but still, I would say the free version is missing a couple of very basic and key features like “mark a post as paid” and “keep previous post stat intact after updating pay rates“. I wish the developer considers these suggestions.

Not only is this plugin extremely useful for paying authors and revenue sharing, but the support is outstanding as well, and let’s face it folks, that’s a rare thing these days. You will be up and running in no time, and there are plenty of ways to customize how you want to track visits and pay your authors. The tutorials are very helpful. If you follow them you will be able to setup any part of the software. You will not find a better plugin in this category.

This is the most useful plugin on my website. I’d disable all the other plugins (Yoast, W3 Total Cache, etc) but not this one. PPC never failed me since the day I started using it. Minor problems are easily fixed thanks to the excellent support.
