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.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Great plugin!!All that’s missing is Office 365 integration and an “export settings” 🙂

    Used this plugin on several projects and I’m very happy with it. The only thing I don’t love is the new admin menu placement in v1.9, having it on the top level feels a bit cluttered. The old location was cleaner and easier to access.

    Ich habe alle bekannten Plugins getestet und viele YouTube-Videos angeschaut – ohne Erfolg. Dies ist die schnellste Lösung, und ich habe sie mit Starto.de getestet. Wirklich super Arbeit!

    Have tried others but you need to pay to see the logs – this is simple and quick and gives you a log for free – perfect and many thanks.

    It’s a simple SMTP plugin, but can send email reliably. And most important thing is Email log, which is useful and free. But here is suggestion that can add a widget on admin dashboard, so can see overview clearly without setting>suremail. Thanks a lot !
