How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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. 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.

    Fácil e intuitivo. Las opciones que te entran en la versión gratis están muy bien y a mi parecer más que suficientes.

    I uninstalled because the in-dashboard ads and nags are very annoying. Please consider reducing them — the plugin itself is useful some times, but the ads get in the way: you cannot close them. A real pain.

    This plugin is a great idea and does just what I want it to do. But it’s impossible to scroll through pages of users, click on ‘next’ and the error pops up to say I don’t have permission to view the page. Support seems to be non-existent. Raised a ticket to advise the problem and no response. I’m removing the plugin for now.
