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.

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

N/A

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 small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    It is good, but it does not support elementor. It is a major drawback of this plugin.

    I use a lot of ThemeZee themes and their related supporting plugins. Moving over to blocks, it took a while to get used to leaving the use of magazine formats and widget functions. Once we had this magazine blocks plugin, it has been easy to manage grid layouts in all pages and posts, and the current set meets most of my needs. It would be good to have a block to show a single post and to manage its options (or a 1×1 grid), but other than that, this plugin does it all for my purposes. And it works prefectly well for non-ThemeZee themes.
