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.

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.

    Exactly what I needed! Thanks. I tried several other plugins, all had problems. Some had old style captcha only. Some didn’t work at all. Another one worked but recaptcha was coming over Submit button. This one worked as I wanted.

    Nothing wrong with this plugin at all! It does exactly what it says it will, and in a lightweight and straightforward manner. As a side note, would it be possible to get a shortcode integration for the ReCaptche widget so I can add this same encryption to Contact Forms?

    Works good but can you add support for “Contact Form 7” too ?
