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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    It particularly overrode my typography choices in Gutenberg. I don’t have time to faff about with adjusting everying. Deleted.

    I started moving a few of my client websites from Elementor to Gutenberg, mainly for performance reasons, and UiCore Blocks made the transition surprisingly smooth. The blocks feel well designed, everything loads fast, and the editor doesn’t get cluttered.If you’re working with Gutenberg, this plugin is definitely worth having in your setup.

    I’ve been an Elementor Pro user, and in UiCore Blocks – Free WordPress Gutenberg Blocks, I’ve found the closest thing to Gutenberg for enhancing the structure and functionality of a custom website, and the best part… it’s free! I’ve implemented it on my personal site, using the design provided by Lovable, and the layout process has been greatly simplified with the help of this plugin.
