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.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

7 of the last 12 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 6 of those landed between 2021-06-08 and 2021-06-27.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    I would not recommend WPSmartPay. In short: Many advertised features DO NOT work or are bugged Support is terrible, generic and very slow Even highly skilled, experienced WordPress devs struggle to implement the plugin

    Really it’s a good plugin for handling payment with WooCommerce through Paddle. I have been using the Pro Version of it’s for processing subscription payment for my plugin “Leo Product Recommendations for WooCommerce”

    Love this! Very well thought out and eliminates some headaches associated with the “woo” experience, and pairing this with paddle for woo makes this a lot better option than woo subscriptions in my opinion. Clean and sleek! This topic was modified 5 years ago by chriswinters.
