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.

This plugin is great. The only thing I’m surprised by is that this sort of functionality wasn’t built into WordPress. Thanks for the simple, clean plugin!

Just what I needed. Non-logged-in visitors: you can’t see this. That’s all. As I often say, sometimes you are just in dire need of a simple and to the point plugin.

Very good and right what I need … To facilitate management should create: 1, Create a button to open the Form specifies the right to view the post or the page (at the bottom of the post or page) and will only show up when the Admin login. 2, If no group or member is selected, everyone can view by default. 3, Options will not affect the permissions of the group and the Admin member.
