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. 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I have a site that I work on all the time and the “copy media URL” function just would not work right ever and I need to use it all the time, so this plugin is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! Genuinely, this is going to change my entire process on this site and save a ton of time. If you have a premium version, I would be more than happy to purchase a license to help keep this plugin alive. THANK YOU!!

    How this functionality is not already built into WordPress is beyond my imagination. Thanks for creating this very necessary functionality!

    For those who wanna make woocommerce import csv/xlsx list this plugin is very handy, because you just click on the media link, without leaving the library, and then paste the URL into your sheet with ease.
