How to choose
Can I try it for free, and what does it cost?
Check the free-plan mark and the paid-from price to see whether a plugin fits your budget.
Pricing varies: Advanced Custom Fields lists a free plan and paid plans from $49 per year, while AIOSEO lists a free plan. Check the individual listing for its current pricing details.
How many sites can I use it on?
Check the site limit before choosing, especially if you manage more than one WordPress site.
If your site uses WordPress multisite, compare the multisite field too; a site limit and multisite support answer different questions.
Will it work with my WordPress editor?
Compare the editor compatibility field with the editor you use before installing a plugin.
If compatibility is unclear in the listing, check the maker's website for details rather than assuming the plugin works with your setup.
Does it update automatically, and what support is available?
Use the automatic-updates and support-channel fields to see how updates and help are handled.
Consider whether you want updates applied automatically and whether the listed support channel suits how you prefer to get help.
Is the plugin open source, and what license does it use?
Check both the open-source mark and license model; they describe related but distinct details.
If you need to read or change the code, review the plugin's license before choosing it.
Questions
What should I compare when choosing a WordPress plugin?
Compare its free plan and paid-from price, site limit, license model, multisite support, automatic updates, support channel and editor compatibility.
How do I know if a WordPress plugin works with my editor?
Check the editor compatibility field, then consult the maker's website if you need more detail about your setup.
Can I use a WordPress plugin on multiple sites?
Check its site limit and WordPress multisite fields. They describe separate limits and support.
What does the signal score mean for a WordPress plugin?
It is a score out of 10 based on published information about usage, a public API, documentation depth, open-source code and a free tier.
How can I tell whether a WordPress plugin has a free plan?
Look for the free-tier mark and the free-plan field. A free trial is a separate offer from a free plan.
