Release cadence

Occasionally updated

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.

    I was not expecting this kind of support and level of good communication. The Pro version is not available in the store, but the support emailed me this actively by email and then went beyond and helped me to activate the license and on top of that even accepted to adapt a feature in the plugin, that I requested for my personal use. The free version was easy to install and setup, but limited with the amount of certificates you want to create. So far I don’t have that limitations with the Pro Version.Very happy with my purchase!

    I don’t want this spanish version. I still working on it from 2 hours but i can’t get it in english language. So, disappointing for me. This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by askf.

    Una manera fácil de realizar las validaciones de nuestro certificados desde nuestro wordpress, en la versión Pro cuanta con mayor opciones y con la misma facilidad.
