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.

    This is a great slider. You can basically add whatever you like to it and it has a lot of options for styling built right in. The developer is also very responsive. +++++ This topic was modified 6 months, 2 weeks ago by kathycac.

    I really liked the plugin. You can add any widget or item in a slider. I tried it with images, gallery, video, posts and WooCommerce products. This plugin is capable of sliding anything in WordPress.
