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.

    This plugin is excellent. I’ve been using it for almost two weeks now and haven’t had any issues at all. The configuration options are great, and the display on the website looks really good, especially for a free plugin. The only downside at the moment is that recurring events can’t be added yet. Aside from that, it’s highly recommended. I previously used The Events Calendar, but it wasn’t very customizable and didn’t look quite right on the website. Vento Calendar is almost perfect in comparison.
