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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

nice, small & pretty plugin. Only one thing i do not like so much at the moment: there sadly is no option for switching off “the clicking the main image”-functionallity cause it does not look so fine for me to see the pictue singulary – if i won’t add a lightbox. if this option would be built in, it shall be perfect! 🙂
