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.

Beyond some translation issues (such as the Portuguese word Sim in place of English “Yes”), the plugin is limited in scope to only a single role restriction per page. No ability to add multiple roles. Also, the default behavior is a redirect back to homepage with no warning messages or option to redirect user to different page (such as a special system message page explaining why the user cannot access content).
