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.

    “Responsive Block Control” is one of the best plugins almost used on my all website. I just love it and expect more with the updating of the WordPress version.

    Hi there, thank you for a great little plugin! It is ideal for showing some content for small screens and some other content for bigger screens. What really makes it stand out from other plugins is that you can adjust the breakpoints and tune them to correspond with your plugins in your theme.
