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.

medium confidence

Est. annual revenue

≈$15K range $4K–$60K

Est. acquisition value

≈$44K range $8K–$240K

The recent download trend is too spiky to read. 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. $79–$149 a year, typical for Backup plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
  • Install base. 10K–20K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

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.

    With this plugin it is very easy to set up a backup schedule and create backups for al your sites. Local or remote backups or both at the same time. You can do it all very conveniant from the mainwp dashbord.

    Bucket keys/info are stored in plain view in the database of each child-site and are common amongst all children from the mainwp dashboard settings. This means that if someone gets access to one of your clients sites and are able to read the wp_options table, they have access to all the backups of the other mainwp children sites. This need to be rethought. I commend the ease of use, but this is just a no go for security reasons.

    The free version is the best plugin I’ve used. I think i will buy the Pro version soon. It’s simple, fast and ready to use “out of the box”.

    I still do need to test the restore feature, but the backup and the notification appear to work well… Will advise if any issues.
