High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, well behind 6.8.

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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Not sure if it is WP or WC version incompatibility (up to date on my side), but this plugin doesn’t do literally anything on my end. To me it looks just like a blind ad to purchase the full version.

What was being kind of a hell to setup with built in options of woocommerce became a matter of 5 minutes with this amazing plugin, 2 lines of intuitive text and all done! Thanks, of course I will think of buying PRO version for more complex projects I will have soon

Needed some advanced shipping options and didn’t want to fork of big bucks. This plugin has the power to do pretty much all shipping options after 5-10 mins. Thanks!!

Thank you very much for this great plugin. Usually all free woocommerce plugins looks bad or don’t work. Your looks great and works perfectly!

We have a very small product line and needed simple flat-rate weight calculations to go with it. This plugin does just what we need without mucking around with complex shipping zones, classes or methods.

I tried several plugins on the repo but this is the only one that worked properly for quantity based pricing.
