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

N/A

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.

    simple, clean and easy, with enough customization attributes for most situations, support is responsive but rely on user to investigate obvious problems, also interface better be much more compact (i looked for a new gallery plugin since the one i used for years suddenly got a update issue with wordpress but fixed now, therefore would go back to it but i’m glad to have another one for some new page designs)

    Great plugin, easy to install and has all features a slider gallery needs. I needed some help to implement it in my wordpress installation. I got immediate help and they fixed my wrong width parameters. Great job.

    I needed some galleries that change images every time you click them, quickly rotating through an assortment of images. This did the trick.

    Thank you for this brilliant free slider! Very easy to implement on my site and the full screen mode is beautifully slick – way better than a lightbox. My only suggestion would be to improve the icons (arrows and full screen) but this can easily be fixed by replacing the png icon files found in the plugin CSS folder.

    Needed a slider gallery after the one i was using was incompatible with Elementor. Plenty around, but this was very simple to use and set up. I had one issue which the live chat support sorted in 2 minutes!

    I’ve tried other plug-ins but this one does the job for me! Has all the functionalities I wanted – and it’s very smooth! I do wish it had the option to add a link to each image in the slide to link to “Media File” so it activates with my lightbox plugin, that would be amazing! Thank you for this! I got the Premium version too, very worth it!
