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.

    This plugin absolutely blew my mind! It’s perfect for my simple use case on a one-page site. It’s easy to use, and I got my pop-ups set up in seconds (minus the time to write my content 😂). The modals are well-designed and have great UX out of the box. I didn’t need to use CSS at all. This is a lot more than I would expect from a free plugin.

    This plugin is pretty easy to use. Create a synced pattern (I used a download CTA) Add the Synced Pattern Popups trigger code to a download button. You now have an interactive CTA that pops open a download modal. This is just one of many use-cases. This plugin is very nice and I will be adding an integration with it to the next version of Pattern Wrangler.

    This plugin is simple initiative to use and does exactly what it says. Best yet it uses completly native block editor components and doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead it gives you the simplest approach for setting up a button/link triggered popup. Blessedly it also looks like its accessible ( though I haven’t tested that part).
