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.

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.

    I’ve been using for a couple of years and it does exactly what is says it will do with no conflicts on a variety of systems and in conjunction with an assortment of other plugins. Kudos to the author!

    thanks for plugin. it works. though if you need customizations, you had to be more than beginner since it needs CSS knowledge.

    Doesn’t do anything. No visual button, shortcode doesn’t have any effect.

    Instant install and — boom! — it works, first try. Editing the CSS was (mostly) simple. I’m not sure why I had to call the style body .simplePullQuote instead of just .simplePullQuote, but hey, it works.
