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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

This plugin is seriously good stuff. One of my clients has a use case where people without social media accounts need to share the link to the page but shouldn’t be forced to use their own e-mail client. I had that setup in minutes thanks to both the great documentation and the really well-thought-out administrative areas. Kudos!!

This is a great plugin, basic and functional. The only issue I found is the lack of control over css/js injection.. I’m already using jquery and the few lines of css it includes could be done via styles.css. Thanks
