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.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
  • Annual price per customer. $49–$129 a year, typical for WordPress plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
  • Install base. 100–200 active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

    In the demo the config page appears in the WP Admin Menu, but when I installed it nothing showed up. I tried deactivating and reactivating and uninstalling and reinstalling… no config page ever shows up so this is completely useless, but it looks great on their demo page and I wish i could get it to work.

    Light weight clean looking viewer should be developed further so users can customize more settings. Support of .3MF files.

    Gave it a try. When you install, there are no configuration screens or anything. After a bit of reading, discovered that the use is based on embedding a shortcode like this: [wp-3dtvl model_file=”your_file_name”][/wp-3dtvl] Tried that with multiple models, and all I got was an on-screen error saying “An error occurred loading model”. Dug around some more and found the author’s demo model from the Envato based paid version of this plugin. Tried substituting the path for that model. Same result. In summary: Gave this an honest try. Could not get it to work at all.
