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

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.

    Dont usually review, but had here. This plugin does exactly what you want it to and the customization options are perfect. Has a shortcode and an option to add it to any menu. Great job!

    This one is very helpful especially if you have lots of menu items, you can just break down the menu and add a slideout menu. It would be even better if it had support for multiple menus.
