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

N/A

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.

    Review Manager lets you show your online reviews on your website right after someone posts them on Google or Facebook or 37 other sites, their mobile app makes it easy to get them and this plugin makes it easy to show them on your website.
