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 is a simple, easy to understand captcha system that just works in place, even with 2FA solutions. I saw bot login attempts decrease by hundreds per day on my higher traffic sites as soon as I turned it on. Best and most crucially, it’s not Google’s terrible ReCaptcha system which drives otherwise happy users away from interacting with your content.
