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
Actively maintainedHow 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
Modeled from public signals only; the real figure depends on pricing and conversion we cannot see. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $49–$149 a year, typical for Content & Feeds plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
- Install base. 40K–50K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).
Inputs
- Active installs
- 40K–50K
- Category
- Content & Feeds
- Pro tier
- detected (known freemium plugin with a public paid tier)
- Download trend
- growing (30d downloads up vs prior 30d)
- Reviews

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

We have been working with the WP RSS Aggregator team to identify a licensing issue on our multisite network. After running some diagnostics in our production environment, the issue was identified and resolved. They also credited us some of the time back on our subscription for when the plugin was not working as expected. Thank you Aggregator Team!

I’ve looked into so many RSS plugins and used a few over the years. This is the best I’ve found. It’s not free but you get what you pay for, and this plugin does everything I need for a very large multi-site. The UI is straightforward, it works as advertised, and the couple times I had support questions their support team was helpful; they even logged into my WP backend (securely) to resolve an issue. This is how WordPress plugins should be developed!

The plugin works well and when we had issues, the support team was ready to help!

I have used this plugin for many years and it worked okayish, but recently they completely rebuilt/refactored the plugin and totally fucked up. And that is for months now – and no resolution in sight. I even have the paid premium version. It begins with the plugin ‘forgetting’ my licence key again and again (which breaks my automation). When I manually refresh the licence key it works again. Basic functionalities (like filtering content by xml attributes) are not working. And if you report those issues to them you get answers like (original quote!): “The issue that you reported is a known issue in Aggregator v5 and our team is working on a fix. The fix will be included in one of the upcoming releases of Aggregator. We appreciate your patience while we work on resolving this. ” – and just remember: I pay for a product they label “Elite” – lol Thanks for nothing.

I have been using RSS Aggregator for a few years on various sites and besides the top notch support I have received the V5 upgrade has certainly improved it even more. Great work guys!

After comparing several different options, I found WP RSS Aggregator to be clearly the best. Especially the latest version is excellent in the terms of setup and usability. For reasons unrelated to the plugin I had to contact their support, which was really fast and knowledgeable. Thank you for that too!
