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.

    Limit of individual post for free version should be more prominently included.

    Pretty bad. The first time I used it, it replaced an existing blog post copying data into a post not even related to the acf blog post it was coming from. I had to revert to a previous version of the blog post. Perhaps a preview feature (old post / new post) would have eliminated this issue. I also had to restore the featured image of the post that was overwritten. Sure, some would say it was operator error – however if it happened to me, it could happen to the next person trying out this plugin. Be forewarned, proceed at your own risk.

    Exporting ACF Data, the use case described in the name of the plugin, is not actually possible without paying. This should be reported.

    I have used many different sites and this makes me easy and reduces my time, Really it’s very good. I have used many other plugins but I can’t beneficial results like this. This can easily clone ACF pages, and posts within a few times.

    As others have said, the free version will only export one post/page at a time. At best this is a demo, but with so many restrictions, even that is too limited to guarantee the plugin works before buying. Don’t waste your time. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by Eric.
