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

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.

    The plugin is excellent, we just need to add a functionality in the WordPress administrator to order the posts from most to least useful (DESC order).

    The plugin is simple and does the job very well. Install, select which post types to display in WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Helpful and you are good to go. The plugin has scope for growth by adding few features as others have suggested. However, it is a useful plugin as it is. Thank you for sharing it with the community.

    Works as expected on PC. Works terrible on mobile. There’s no padding in mobile, and the widget looks broken.

    This plugin is very simple to use and highly recommended. The best thing is: It is compatible with the most recent WordPress version.
