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. 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.

    Simple, effective, the perfect complement to the Simple Commenter service, which is clearly the best in class for this type of tool (and I’ve tried a ton of them). Perfect for getting useful feedback from web agency clients, which is usually no easy task…

    Was an early adopter when Aleksander released this in response to Markup.io’s rediculous price change. It was great then and just keeps getting better. Exactly what I always wanted in a feedback tool and now the WP integration just takes it over the top. Made a request for the widget to be disabled in my page builder of choice and within a week the fix was implemented and released. Great product, Great support.

    I’ve been using this for a while now. It’s very easy to use, gets regular updates, and communication with your customer is smooth and fast. Your customer can clearly indicate where they want to change text or photos and also provide the correct text or photos immediately. No more wasting time searching for material and placing it.

    I use Simple Commenter on every site for communication between my assistant and me. It has completely changed our workflow for the better. No more back and forth emails, messages or Click up notes. Support is great and the developer is very open to ideas and feedback which is a real bonus.

    It’s simple as it says in the name and this is the most important thing for me a website designer since your clients wont spend time learning how to use review system for a single project. Yet it has enough features to well serve my needs.Really love it!

    Simple Commenter makes communication with clients so much easier and way more effective! It was also well received by my clients. Makes a professional impression right from the start. I’m using it for every project, and can highly recommend it.
