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.

    This plugin solved our problem of running multiple sites with the same content. It has many great add-ons, so you can basically sync everything. And if there isn’t an add-on for something you need, the developer of Broadcast will help you in a friendly and passionate way. Highly recommended.

    Support for the Broadcast plugin does not stop after the first installation of the plugin in your website. Even after a number of months, the developer responded very quickly and worked together with us to get to the bottom of a problem. After analysis it turned out that the problem was in fact not caused by the Broadcast plugin itself, but because of wrong settings in our own WordPress environment. Excellent support, excellent knowledge of WordPress in relation to the Broadcast plugin. Our problem was solved within a day.

    Broadcast has been a flexible and reliable workhorse for our client’s site. They have a complex setup of 13 network sites, with all content being controlled using Broadcast and the Premium Pack Add-ons. In the rare circumstance where we’ve had an issue the support has been top tier and incredibly fast. Keep up the good work Ed!

    With the purchase of the control pack this plugin is perfect and gives very granular control (for example can give the post different categories assigned on child v parent sites to fit different site setups). Fantastic support who helped me troubleshoot set up with a 3rd party plugin and has taken all the stress out of maintining multiple websites that have some overlap in content.

    Broadcast is one of those plugins that simply does what it was designed to do. The Broadcast plugin does not come with a lot of settings or configurations, but that is in fact the strength of this plugin. The interface is clear and easy to understand, Broadcast works flawlessly if you want to cross-post between sites in a WordPress multi-site setup. Unlike other comparable but lesser plugins, Broadcast does an great job in publishing metadata and attachments to the destination site, and is intelligent in using existing media files in the receiving site. The support for Broadcast if first class, they will run that extra mile to answer any implementation questions that you may have. A highly recommended plugin, stable, easy, what more is there to say.

    This is a must-have plugin for WordPress Multisites. It’s one of the rare plugins where every feature feels fully thought out and solid. Edward has truly been a lifesaver! His support is outstanding, and his response time is unbelievably fast. He’s helped us out more times than I can count. I can’t recommend this plugin enough. Huge thanks again, Edward!
