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.

    Plugin got auto-updated yesterday. The latest edition broke our website. We missed events for around 10k visitors. Should be properly tested before release. Also, how the heck, it updated automatically? This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by Varun Sharma.

    I can’t comment about the Paid Pro version of this plug in, but the free version does absolutely nothing at all. Except for waste your time trying make it do something.
