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.

    WorkflowDone Geo Blocker strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and functionality. The free version offers everything most users need for basic geo-blocking, while the supporter upgrade provides advanced features at an incredibly reasonable one-time price (no recurring subscriptions!). Whether you need geo-blocking for compliance, licensing, security, or content restriction purposes, this plugin delivers. The developer clearly understands WordPress users’ needs and has created a solution that’s both powerful and accessible. The responsive support (I’ve contacted them twice with questions) and the active development make this plugin a reliable choice for the long term. Highly recommended for anyone needing geo-blocking functionality on their WordPress site.

    I have tried other plugins and this one works the best. It allows to customize block page (default one already nice), it allows to accept crawlers despite of the geo ip blocking, it does not need any external api keys like other plugins do. For me the best.

    WorkflowDone Geo Blocker is a fantastic, lightweight plugin that delivers seamless country-based blocking with smart features like IP whitelisting and SEO-friendly crawler detection. Setup is incredibly straightforward, even for non-experts, and it handles CDNs like Cloudflare without issues. Highly recommend for anyone needing quick geo-restrictions—efficient and reliable from day one.
