No support is included. The Lite plugin and the separate Pro plugin include plugin updates only. There is no support by email, no support on the WordPress.org forum, and no support during the 7-day Pro trial.
Product Compare Hub turns WordPress into a product catalog with comparison — for laptops, headphones, bikes, coffee machines, phones, services, anything that has specifications. You decide which characteristics describe your products; the plugin builds the product editor, the filters, the spec sheets and the comparison table around them. No coding, no page builder required: one shortcode.
What visitors get
- Live search and filters by brand, category and every attribute you flagged as a filter, with a result counter and “load more”.
- Product pages with one main image, description, price, release date and the full spec sheet grouped by attribute group.
- Side-by-side comparison: visitors pick as many products as you allow and open a comparison table with every attribute. There is no built-in cap.
- 3 colour themes (one light, one dark, one neutral) and a toolbar layout that adapts to your theme. System fonts, no external requests.
- Every product also gets its own page automatically (SEO friendly URLs you can rename).
What you get in the admin
- Your own attribute schema: groups (Display, Performance, Battery, Materials…) and attributes of type text, number with unit, list of values, yes/no or long text. Drag to reorder. Tick “Filter” to offer an attribute as a catalog filter and “Card” to show it on the catalog card.
- Unlimited products with name, subtitle, short and long description, brand, category, release date, price and one main image.
- Brands and categories as regular WordPress taxonomies.
- Catalog order by release date, name, date added or price.
- Sample catalog: 20 fictional products installed at the start so you can see everything working right away (removable with one click).
- A built-in “How it works” guide.

Free edition vs Pro
This plugin, as hosted on WordPress.org, is the Lite edition. It is free and fully functional within its scope: unlimited products, your own attribute schema with every attribute type, live search and filters, product pages with one main image, unlimited side-by-side comparison of all attributes, 3 colour themes, the toolbar layout, brands and categories, catalog order by date, name or price, the sample catalog and the two shortcodes above. Nothing in this package is locked behind a license, a trial, a time limit or a quota; the interface follows your WordPress site language and community translations.
A separate Pro plugin is sold from our site and is not part of this package. It adds:
- 5 interface languages (English, Italian, French, German, Serbian) with a per-visitor flag switcher.
- 12 colour themes plus custom accent colours.
- 3 layouts: toolbar filters, sidebar filters, full width.
- Colour variants with an image gallery per colour and a lightbox.
- A glossary of technical terms with “i” popups next to attributes.
- “Show only differences” in the comparison table.
- Related products and highlights on the product page.
- Manual drag & drop ordering of products and brands.
- The fixed comparison shortcode
[svpcx_compare ids="12,15"]. - An installable web app (home-screen icon, full screen).
Pro can be tried for 7 days. Pro includes plugin updates only: no support (by email or on the WordPress.org forum) and no refunds. Live demo.
Privacy
The plugin does not collect personal data from visitors and sets no cookies. See “External services” for the one optional connection (Freemius), off until you turn it on.
External services
The catalog itself never sends visitor data anywhere: products, attributes and settings stay in your WordPress database, fonts come from the visitor’s system and no cookie is set. One optional connection exists, off until you turn it on.
Freemius (bundled SDK, vendor/freemius) manages the optional upgrade to the separate Pro plugin, its licenses and its updates. The Pro trial lasts 7 days and includes plugin updates only. It does not include support, by email or on the WordPress.org forum. On activation Freemius shows an opt-in screen: only if you accept, basic site and usage data (site URL, WordPress/PHP version, plugin version, admin e-mail) are sent to Freemius. You can skip the opt-in and this Lite plugin works fully without any external connection. Service by Freemius, Inc.: terms https://freemius.com/terms/ – privacy policy https://freemius.com/privacy/
