How 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

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.

    I was looking a plugin for auction and test most of it. Than I tested this one. It is all a needed. It works as expected, it has a lot of features and the support is quick, kind and awesome!

    I was enthusiastic about this plugin but was not wanting to buy the Pro version without testing the free version.Well this is what I have found in the free plugin:Firstly I did set the plugin for administrator to bid on his own auction as I wanted to see how the bidding process works.I set the Opening, Lowest, Bid Increment and Buy now price and then you only have the option to set the auction end date. Start start since you cant change that – is set at for the following day and the end date one is not able to change – so if by chance the auction is now expired while you testing – you cant set that date to a future date – if you do the Expired message still appears. One the one product – the auction is meant to have started and has not expired yet the Expired message is reflecting.Example: Today is the 7th – yet the start date is set for the 8th FebThe end date doesnt set and even if I change it to the 28 Feb, after saving it goes back to the 7th so the start is one day ahead of the end date.I saw no features that enable you to actually bid on the product – all you see is the bid amount and the start date – no input field for someone to bid – no buy now buttons not even the product attributes show up.Not a good start and if free version doesnt work out the box – then I’m def will not consider buying.I’m using the latest version of WordPress + WooCommerce and Avada.

    As a novice with such things, I had to call on them to address some issues. I could not have asked for better support, which was given freely even though I was only using their free version . I will be buying the Pro version now!
