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.

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.

    Using WP Wiki Tooltip for a few years now with my own wiki. Setup is easy and the design is customizable. Dev responds quickly to feedback. Thanks!

    I guess this plugin could use some updates, but I’m not complaining because on my well updated sites this plugin still works as it’s supposed to. I really love those pop-up text boxes that makes the links so much cooler than just merely linking a word or image.
