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
No release in a yearHow 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.

We need a solution to include Woocommerce Recommendations using the shortcode method which isn’t native to the core app. The Product Recommendations – Custom Locations allows us to do this using our Oxygen Builder based theme. Plugin works perfectly. When it stopped after the last core WooCommerce and WooCommercve Recommendations plugin updates I immediately informed the development team and received a very reasonable turnaroun time on a reply and a fix! Thanks to @jason Kytros for the amazing support.

Hi. i used this plugin and the shortcode is working only on pages/posts. But it is not working on single product page. Please have a look. Thanks
