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.

medium confidence

Est. annual revenue

≈$64K range $17K–$240K

Est. acquisition value

≈$180K range $34K–$960K

Modeled from public signals only; the real figure depends on pricing and conversion we cannot see. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
  • Annual price per customer. $49–$149 a year, typical for Content & Feeds plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
  • Install base. 70K–80K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

12 of the last 28 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 9 of those landed between 2020-12-08 and 2021-01-04.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    I bought and expensive, fancy theme. It was a nightmare to do even the simplest of things, like changing the header logo. I unninstalled that, and went with Zakra. My website was running in less than a day.
