About WordPress Plugins

Are premium plugins better than free plugins?

There are countless free plugins available for WordPress these days. So why spend money on a premium plugin? Well, there are well-known free plugins (like WooCommerce for example!) that are completely fine and for which there is not even a better premium alternative. But in some cases it may be worth investing in a premium plugin:

Premium plugins often offer more functionalities. If you think you need this one, it could be a good choice.

Premium plugins usually offer more security than free plugins. This is important, especially when it comes to a functionality where, for example, personal data must be processed.
Premium plugin developers encourage their users to provide feedback on the themes they create. This allows them to quickly fix any bugs and security issues.
If you purchase the premium versions, you are assured of optimal support. The developers offer you the possibility to get in touch with them via email, a ticket system or a support forum if you run into any problems. This is a service that is not self-evident with most free plugins.
