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

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
A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $49–$149 a year, typical for Email & Marketing plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
- Install base. 700–800 active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).
Inputs

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

I maintain a site what requires notification to user when they submitted post via another plugin. Timo did the modification for me without cost. Great asset to WordPress! Recommend!

Works good but you cant remove the footer credits unless you buy the pro version. I have a site with 10,000 users and I dont want them to see a “generated with this plugin…” text in the footer. Not worth buying just to remove footer credits better off finding a different plugin or coding it yourself

I watched the video and discovered this plugin has got so many features, I wonder why is it named “Lite”. 😉 Gonna install it right away (with x-fingers).

Im using Post Status Notifier Lite Plugin in setting section there are options such as Mail Template,Recipient List which are not displaying the template but instead images for HTML images,mail queue,recipient list, customizable notification rules and many options and if we click it redirect to particular link. How this Mail template, Recipient List will work. Is there any paid version to be installed or some thing else setting to be done. Also is this plugin allowing to sent more than one post,page or custom post type in an email.

The plugin helps me a lot to inform me about changes and new articles to be reviewed by me. After some tests I upgraded to the premium version to use it with custom post types. Support is very fast and friendly.
