Charge for your options in the free plugin.
Acowebs is a capable form builder. AddOnBoss is built for options that cost money: it charges for them in the free plugin, and Pro adds what a form builder leaves out, a size run ordered in one grid, a count held on a single choice, artwork checked before it prints, and the customer's name drawn on your own product photo.
From $89 a year · 30-day money-back · No card for the trial

Why shops choose AddOnBoss.
Because their options are what they sell. A colour that costs extra, a name that is printed, a size run ordered by the dozen, a flavour that can sell out: AddOnBoss prices all of it in the free plugin, and Pro adds the size-run grid, stock on a single choice, artwork checked before it reaches the printer and the customer's name drawn on your own photo. Whether your options are a plain form or the thing that earns the money, install AddOnBoss free and build your first set today.
Common questions.
Is AddOnBoss a good alternative to Acowebs Product Addons?
Yes, and it starts in the free plugin. AddOnBoss free already charges for options and shows or hides fields by rule; Acowebs keeps pricing options and conditional logic for its premium version. AddOnBoss Pro then adds what a form builder does not do: a whole size run ordered in one grid, a stock count on a single choice, artwork checked before it reaches your printer, and the customer's name drawn on your own product photo.
Acowebs premium is $49 a year. Why pay $89?
Because of what it covers. The size-run grid, stock on a single choice, artwork checks and the live photo preview are not part of Acowebs, and they are all in AddOnBoss Pro. And before you pay anything, AddOnBoss free already charges for options and shows or hides fields by rule.
Can AddOnBoss price by size or from a table?
Yes. Price from the dimensions a customer types, at a rate per square metre, or from a width-by-height price table with a minimum charge. Both are in Pro.
What does the free AddOnBoss plugin actually include?
Reusable option sets shown as swatches, buttons or dropdowns, pick-one or pick-several with a least and a most, fourteen field types each optional or required, groups, the ability to refuse individual choices on one product, and every charge joining the cart line through WooCommerce own pricing and tax. Nothing there is held back.
Built for the awkward half.
Size runs, artwork, and stock on a single choice. Free to start, and the set library is free too.
