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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    We are extremely satisfied with the Uncanny Toolkit! It provides excellent statistics and offers the incredibly handy ability to switch between user accounts. This feature has been invaluable for thoroughly testing different roles and resolving any potential issues efficiently. The support team is also fantastic—responsive and helpful whenever needed. Overall, we’re very happy with this plugin and highly recommend it!

    I tried the free version of this plugin on my LearnDash site and can easily recommend the upgrade to the paid version for anyone who wants the additional functionality and support. The plugin is well done, obviously highly maintained, excellent documentation and a good add on for any LearnDash site.

    I haven’t experienced this kind of dedicated support in a long time! Ryan and his team provided carefully considered responses to my many questions. Based on this extremely positive pre-sale experience, we decided to purchase the Uncanny All Access Pass in order to use a combination of their plugins on our Learndash site. I definitely recommend this company and their plugins to anyone implementing a Learndash LMS.

    These guys are the real deal. I’ve been particularly impressed with the tech support. I’ve sent several numerous questions, and every time got a reply that enabled me to solve the problem (with my site, not with the plugin – it works fine!) quickly and easily. I’ll say one other thing: It’s not just the quality of the products they offer, or the speed and robustness of the support; it’s the kind of support they offer. I suspect (though I don’t know for sure) that a lot of WordPress users are like me – pretty computer savvy, some tech experience, but not specialists by any means. Some plugin designers wouldn’t be able to speak the language of non-specialists; these guys can. I really appreciate that. The input they provide gives people like me outstanding solutions to problems that take our projects from the basic muddling-through level to the kind of level that we could only get if we were real specialists. Outstanding work.
