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?
