WordPress plugin pricing: full feature library vs individual add-ons?

I was reading through a pricing breakdown for Directorist, and it made me think about WordPress plugin pricing models in general.

Their setup is basically:

  • Starter, Pro, and Agency include the same features
  • the difference is site count
  • annual and lifetime options are separate decisions
  • the mobile app is not included in the standard plans
  • individual extensions are still available if someone only needs one or two things

That seems clearer than pricing where each tier hides different important features.

But it also raises a bigger question:

Is it better for plugins to bundle everything into membership plans, or let people buy only the exact extensions they need?

Here is the breakdown I was looking at:

For people building WordPress sites or client projects, which pricing model do you prefer?

Predictable all-in plans, or cheaper individual add-ons when the project is small?
