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
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.

looks good but misses multiple post type query, just like any other grid plugin. Also misses the categories tag, only contains “view all”.

The best free plugin to display post in many pre-built layouts without any CSS

I searched for a long time a plugin like this because it visually it fits perfectly in my theme. However, it needs a bit of work and also a bit of support. Since I’m an amateur, I’ve spent 3 weeks learning how to edit a plugin in order to fix issues with margins and grey lines covering the thumbnails.
