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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

A great addition to Aksimet. I enter a list of stop words and there are no more comments and links that Aksimet does not consider spam. I hope that the developer will continue to support the plugin.

Un plugin sencillo que hace lo que dice y solo lo que dice, cosa que se agradece en estos tiempos. Estaba sufriendo un ataque de spam a los comentarios con la misma frase “Muchas gracias. ?Como puedo iniciar sesion?”. Lo instalé, añadí la línea “Como puedo iniciar sesión”, y listo. Muchas gracias, Predrag.

I chose this plugin instead of Akismet. I have not received any more spam since installation. It works great! Thank you for this spamcatcher I use thema ‘Mantra’.

Finally I have found a spam fighting plugin which is easy to handle, and which works like promised. I had tried different solutions, which did not seem to do anything or were disappointing by their weak functionalities. But this plugin here (Stop Comment Spam) is very easy to configure, because all you have to do is to type in your bad keywords. And it is very effective: It rejects comments which contain one or more of the defined words from the filter – the comments do not pass through to your blog, which means, they are not put into the moderation, so you don’t have to delete all that annoying stuff. Fantastic, and exactly what I was searching for! Thanks for your good work! This topic was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by Anonymous User 5731870.
