Update activity

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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    I have currently monetized for several years with Magenet. Both their web interface and plugin could be better and implement new features, but they work well and pay on time. So I continue using it.

    The plugin is working with the current version of wordpress, but the plugin author should take some time to update the plugin every now and then as wordpress is the most used cms now.

    Oh dear, Magenet does it again, with incompatibility issues. This time it is with WordPress SEO by Yoast, which even though the Magenet Monetization plugin has a tick box that advises of the Yoast plugin, it just doesn’t work and we keep getting ‘fix broken plugin’ error messages. It is very frustrating as the whole purpose of the Magenet plugin is to automate the ad placement process, thus reducing admin. Anyone else suffering with this and is there a solution? Thanks

    It only generates huge amount of errors and nobody cares about it.
