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 year

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    It DOES update my plugins (mostly), but it does not update my themes. Shamefully.

    Does exactly what it says it will. Truly is a nice plugin that helps save time and money. Would like to see some added features though; possibly an email update (daily, weekly, or monthly) as to which plugins or themes have been upgraded. Overall… IMHO, it’s a great plugin that gets the job done!
