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.

Tried refreshing permalinks, saving settings on the General settings page you’ve added the two checkboxes to, nothing makes a difference. No post thumbnail in the feeds… Update!
