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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Thanks for this plugin. It saved me a ton of work having to go through each table manually and updating it. This is awesome and I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who don’t know how much they need this plugin.

    Recovering an older wp install from backups and this plugin did exactly what it claimed to do, quickly and saved me a ton of manual effort digging through tables and sql.

    I think is a good idea to add a check/unckeck all checkbox.

    The perfect tool to covert DB from MyISAM to InnoDB. Used on lots of sites, never an issue, simple, easy and quick to use. From the team at Creative Ground – thank you for the share.

    Great plugin – but it would be useful to have a ‘select all’ for the checkboxes – had to click about a hundred times! Still, all done now.
