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.

How 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

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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Many thanks for this. The author has done a great and comprehensive work on this plugin. In particular I love the control for colours to match the theme of the website, although the ability to actually type in the hex code for the desired colours would be a plus. Of course the best part is having a copy of all visitor requests in the dedicated WP-Admin area! A couple of modifications I would definitely suggest would be to have the option of removing the text messages/areas above and below the form completely. Also to keep the form inviting to my site visitors, I could do with being able to remove the ‘Postcode’ and even the Google Captcha function from the form. A very useful addition would be for the {bloginfo} shortcode to report the actual URL of the page from which the request was made rather than only the site name which is not that informative to the site owner. I also wonder if there is a shortcode that can be used to insert the form inside page and post content without relying on the Widget functionality. That would make it 200% for me!
