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 did it and I have been the first to install it, to test it and to appreciate it. It is very simple and easy. The plugin adds a mini-box in your featured image box and gives you the way to quickly get an image from the web straight into your Media Library. No more download and upload with the (free) web images. 😉
