Common questions.
Is AddOnBoss a good alternative to WooCommerce Product Options?
Yes. You can run AddOnBoss free on your own store today, where WooCommerce Product Options has no free version. When you go Pro it is $89 a year with the live photo preview and the size-run grid included. Barn2 sell those as two more plugins: Product Options, Live Preview and Bulk Variations are $249 a year as their three-plugin bundle.
Do they have more field types?
No, it is level. Barn2 list 16 or more; AddOnBoss has sixteen, fourteen of them free, including date and time pickers, colour swatches and number fields.
Can I try AddOnBoss before paying?
Yes. The free plugin on WordPress.org is a whole product rather than a trial: reusable option sets shown as swatches, buttons or dropdowns, pick-one or pick-several with limits, fourteen field types, groups, and every charge joining the cart line through WooCommerce own pricing and tax. Pro adds made-to-measure pricing, the size-run grid, per-option stock and artwork handling.
What happens to my setup if I stop paying for Pro?
Nothing is deleted. Your option sets, fields and prices stay where they are and the free plugin keeps rendering and charging everything it can. The Pro-only behaviour stands down and waits, so coming back later finds your setup as you left it.
Try it on your own shop first.
The free plugin is a whole product, not a trial. Install it, build a set, see how it charges, and decide about Pro later.
