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 was looking for a datepicker extension for my CF7 form. I tried out many other similar plugins but that did not work for me, until I found this one. This plugin allows to customize the date format and I can even customize the look of the datepicker with CSS which I needed. The only thing needs improvement is the UI of admin panel.

    The Support on this plugin is phenomenal. I found a problem with a new version (in latest WP version and php 8.1), reported it and the developer replied immediately and provided a fix the next morning. You can’t beat service like that.

    What else can I say than: awesome plugin which does exactly what I want and what I did not find in other plugins. The support is also great and the developer is a very nice guy and good listener. Tries to cater to the needs of his clients, very polite. Just awesome. 5 stars, nothing less deserved!
