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.

    Appreciate how lightweight this plugin is and the overall look. Having an issue, however, with the Pin button on images in a Gallery. The button ends up covering the entire images vs floating nicely in the corner. Got a fix for that issue?

    Excellent plugin to show a ‘Pin it’ or ‘Save’ image to Pinterest. Great, light weight and simple solution to get the job done.
