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

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Product Catalog X is versatile and very configurable. It’s also extremely simple to get set up and started while allowing for more experienced web admins to design the content presentation that is desired.

I am very impressed with the design and functionality of this plugin. I have a client who needed to display conveyor products in many different categories, but without any ecommerce necessary. Product Catalog X fit the bill perfectly. After some CSS to hide the sidebar (thanks Elegant Themes blog) completely, I was able to display products on the full canvas of the theme. There are some advanced features here too, like the magnifying hover that you often see if high-end ecommerce shopping experiences, the scale on click (thumbnail acting as button) that is a nice UX touch, and more. Creating new products and categorizing them is a breeze. Click paths are rational and include breadcrumbs and Back to Products link/button at the bottom. Customized with CSS, the products section fits the rest of the site design really well. Also, no crashes. Kudos to the team!

The catalog is great. I’m missing a parent item solution to sort for manufacturers in the base/ free version. Addon “attribute table” dosn’t refresh if you add more attributes (delete and add the product item new). You need to add some empty attributes to cope with later changes. Existing attributes will be refreshed if you change them.

Lo uso per caricare directories, archivi e cataloghi di vario genere. Lavorando un po’ sui CSS si può ottenere una personalizzazione dei temi più adatta al template utilizzato in WP. I use it to load directories, archives and catalogs of various kinds. Working a little on CSS you can get a customization of the most suitable themes for the template used in WP.
