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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

outstanding support, thank you!

It was necessary to integrate post ratings into the site. Only this plugin (in the free version) provided the most flexible functionality. During the tests, bugs were found and sent to the developer. Some bugs have been fixed, some are still in progress. Bugfixes are very fast.

The team at TotalRating is the most responsive tech support that I have come across. They were able to customize their plugin to meet the needs of my site. Hands down the best tech support I have encountered.
