How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    The plugin is not as beautiful as it is marketed. The premium version of the plugin inserts links to USA-based local affiliate sites for SEO. The links are not visible. Until Google slaps you (http://imgur.com/a/BQds2) Beware of the latest update. It was good in previous versions but not now. Maybe due to the reason they’ve removed the option to purchase the pro version https://www.schemaninja.com/pricing/ -> http://imgur.com/a/blDLD RIP grammar 🙁
