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.

medium confidence

Est. annual revenue

≈$24K range $4.9K–$120K

Est. acquisition value

≈$69K range $9.8K–$480K

Modeled from public signals only; the real figure depends on pricing and conversion we cannot see. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
  • Annual price per customer. $49–$199 a year, typical for Forms plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
  • Install base. 20K–30K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

    The plugin could be still useful as it doesn´t save IP addresses of users when filling out a form. But unfortunately the export as csv function does not work. So I cannot use the data in any way.

    Awesome plugin, works perfectly and saved me from the hassle of converting an existing form to CF7 just to save submission data to Flamingo.

    The plugin is great! Saved life before Elementor added native form submission save, but still 🙂 For anyone, who facing the Critical error issue in wp-admin panel, check the count of the saved submissions. While I have 3k+ saved submissions, WP memory limit was set to 768M and it hardly handled it. There are 3 simple solutions: 1. Delete old submissions you don’t need 2. increase WP_MEMORY_LIMIT more, like: define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’ ); (add or update it in your wp-config.php) 3. in the wp-content/plugins/sb-elementor-contact-form-db/sb_elementor_contact_form_db.php file in line 564 change posts_per_page to 50 instead of -1 ‘posts_per_page’ => 50,//- 1,
