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
Occasionally updatedHow 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
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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

高機能で使いやすく、とても重宝しています。ありがとうございます。本当はPROにバージョンアップしたいのですが、欲しい機能は無料版で足りているので9,800円で1サイトはちょっと高いかなぁ・・・使用サイト数に制限がなければすぐPROを購入したいです。

This plugin is amazing in its flexibility. Every possible attribute can be modified. So you can get it to be precisely how you want it. In fact there are a lot of options that I’ll never use, ie animation. But maybe that is important for you. It creates some nice looking testimonials. Also great for “Tips from the Teacher” highlights.
