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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

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.

  1. ★★★★★ ONE FANCY
    2.8y ago

    The FREE unlimited SMS gateway feature is a godsend, allowing me to effortlessly send important updates, promotions, and order confirmations directly to my clients’ phones with no cost. The ease of integration with WooCommerce is unparalleled, streamlining the entire process and saving me precious time. The compatibility with Google Sheets takes it to a whole new level, making data management a breeze. I can seamlessly organize and send SMS campaigns right from my trusted spreadsheets. It’s like having a personal assistant dedicated to client communication.
