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
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.

Well was in hurry, and find this plugin. Totally blessed. It saved my day. I don’t even need to write a single css to. Well designed too. So far good and recommended.

I’ve been using this plugin for sometime on my website and never faced any issues with its functionality. Yes, it has scope to improve. For example it could be much better if there were options to: 1. Choose timeframe for popular posts 2. Select categories to include/exclude from etc. But, I can’t complain. It does a great job of what it does 🙂

1. The sticky posts are forced showing up… 2. The popular tab has no options to choose a certain time period (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / all time)…
