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.

    An excellent tool that speeds up the entire workflow in WordPress.

    Turbo Admin is a fantastic command UI for WordPress. Instead of installing the plugin everywhere, you can just use their browser extension. It’s clean, fast, and makes site management so much easier. Really one of the best tools I’ve added to my workflow.

    Turbo Admin has made me feel like a true power user. It’s like Alfred for WordPress, making it so much quicker to navigate the admin dashboard. The command palette is brilliant, speeding things up with just a few keystrokes. Plus, the Barkeeper keeps the admin bar clean, and the notice-hiding feature is a lifesaver for clearing up all those cluttering plugin notices. Honestly, I think this feature should be part of core WordPress. If you want to work faster and have a more organised dashboard, this plugin is a must-have. I also grabbed the paid extension, which was worth it for managing multiple sites without extra installs. Highly recommend—solid 5 stars!

    Like Alfred search, but for WordPress. This is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m always too lazy to review plugins, but considering the massive amount of time and mousing you just saved me, I had a few spare minutes. Hard to believe something like this existed under my nose all the while I’ve been screaming at the computer when navigating the terribly designed wp admin. Did I say thank you? Thank you. 🙂

    It’s a huge time saver, which is important when you’ve got a busy schedule and are searching for something specific in the admin. It also means that you’re spending more time on your design instead of searching the admin for settings. So, I think it’s important to take these helpers to save time. Could be in core for my taste with an official API to extend such a helper.

    I searched for this solution, and tried a couple of plugins. This one has won me over. Easy to use (especially since you can choose your own shortcut keys) and looks and works perfectly. Massively time saving. Great work!
