Earn the switch.
Keep the comparison honest.
We compare against ACF, Meta Box, Pods, Secure Custom Fields and JetEngine. Their strengths helped define a more generous Free product and a focused edition for repeat business workflows.
A feature checklist is one part of quality.
Coverage does not prove ease of use, speed, stability or long-term support. We keep those judgments separate and do not describe a new beta as a proven market leader.
The five reference products
- Advanced Custom Fields: established field APIs, structured Pro fields and custom blocks.
- Meta Box: a modular field toolkit, Free Lite and paid extension bundles.
- Pods: substantial free content modeling and relationship tools.
- Secure Custom Fields: a broad free field toolkit.
- JetEngine: dynamic site building, queries, listings and related content.
What we changed
Field types are no longer the Free/Pro boundary. Free includes the content platform; Pro adds submission approvals, reviewed CSV updates, deployments and bulk work. Integration and migration limits remain documented.
