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.

    This was exactly what is was looking for. I think more people are going to be installing this plugin shortly. And if the WordPress dev team happens to read this. Why would you come up with this autocomplete nonsense? I don’t get it. Why would I be constantly be adding an email address to text blocks that belong to a site user? Emails are not that long. There is no reason for the autocomplete feature. Anyway, thank you to Jb for making this.
