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
Actively maintainedHow 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Remote Data Blocks takes composability in Gutenberg to the next level! With RDB, you can easily drag and drop to create interactive, media-rich web experiences using data from sources outside the WP database, such as Google Sheets, Airtable, and more! For large sites and those with complex data driven products this is a life saver. The interface for working with large datasets is so well done and makes it easy for designers and editors alike to build out content they simply wouldn’t have been able to do before. And for developers, RDB is easy to work with and extend!
