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.

    Ultimeter has been a game-changer for our campaign tracking needs! The plugin is easy to use, highly customizable, and adds a polished, professional look to our website. Setting up our custom meter was straightforward, and it worked seamlessly for our goals. When I encountered an issue with compatibility, their technical support team went above and beyond to assist me. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and provided clear solutions that resolved my problem quickly. Their exceptional customer service truly sets them apart. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Ultimeter, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and visually engaging way to track progress on their website.

    I had a quick turn deadline for a client and purchased Ultimeter to meet the requirement. I identified a bug and within mere hours Ben was able to review and patch the issue. I have rarely had a plugin developer diagnose and remedy an issue so quickly, so I highly recommend this developer! UPDATE: 2 years of excellent support from Ben! He goes ABOVE and beyond to support his product. One of the best developers I have worked with! This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by siraubsreh.

    We have been using the custom meter feature for over a year and are pleased with how easy it is to create and use on our website for our fundraising events. I had to ask for support for an issue I was having with our website and received a response the same day. They were able to adjust a feature on our website and got the meter working perfectly. Excellent customer service! Easy integration with our WordPress website.

    Exactly what I needed for Woocommerce sales progress board. The author was super flexible with a license issue I had.

    As a small non-profit, we were looking for something free yet easy to set up, simple to customize just enough that it looks like it belonged on our website, and painless to update daily to show our progress. Ultimeter was exactly what we needed! Thank you!

    Hi, Quick and good support when having issues. I had an issue with the Zaiper integration and Ben narrowed it down to my worpress API, which was not enabled. BR Johan This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by supership.
