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. 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.

    What a waste of money! This plugin was set (the pro version) to repost old post in category at 365 day, it didn’t work. Developer sounds like $15 plugin is too cheap and doesn’t need their dedicated attention in their Pro support page.

    This plugin has at last given me the way to re-post content that even I had forgotten about. I not longer need to produce new content each day, and it keeps my blog looking fresh. I love it!

    Hi Developer , I need the plugin to post the content with changing the post Id i.e post unique id as it is published genuinely and change the post id no.s . Else I need the post to be re-published as fresh article by taking up same as content and seo values from the old post and publish it as new post with post id .
