Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I’ve been using this plugin for a couple of months now. It has worked well for me. I have had a couple of issues but David is always quick to address them. If you are looking to do RSVP Forms, give this a try.

    I was successful in installing the plugin, but when I activated it, I got this error “The plugin does not have a valid header”. I wonder what causes the issue here?

    We only needed some VERY basic functionality which is oddly hard to find in the other RSVP plugins I tried. Most of the other had hard coded requirements that I couldn’t find a way around. RSVPMaker’s form builder was exactly what we needed. It take s a little bit to navigate because of all of the features and options, but it can do a lot.

    I tried several premium and free plugins but this seems to be doing the job very nicely. However, the admin flow and design has to be changed a bit. I can help with the design part of admin section.

    Hi there! This is the perfect plugin for me! I use it to plan how many team members will come to the next trainings. We had an email list with 20 emails each week. Now every member subscribes, if he will or will not play at the next training. Thanks!

    This plugin allowed me to schedule a boat load of events all at once through the template. When there was a problem with PayPal transferring and updating to all the events, the developer created an update that took care of the issue and saved me hours of time updating the events. David is awesome and responded to my request for support immediately. Wow!! I am super impressed with him and the plugin.
