‫If you're having a hard time identifying if you should start element or by using the free version or
‫the pro version this is a really good article that may be able to help you out.
‫This is provided by element or dot com.
‫And on this page it shows the comparison of using the free version and the pro version.
‫So see where there is an X under element or this feature is missing from the free version but it is
‫available for prope.
‫Now if you scroll down a bit more you'll notice that several of the same features are offered in both
‫versions but when you get back to the top you'll see that there are several things missing.
‫Now one thing that I would recommend is that you download the free version and then from there if you
‫see that there's something that you need then I would consider maybe going to pro but if you're really
‫set on keeping things absolutely free.
‫Another thing that you could do is this right here it says for forms you're getting that with pro but
‫you're not getting that with the free version.
‫You can then go into your plugins section and you could type in something such as forms and then from
‫there you can see if there are any other form providers that would give you the ability to use forms
‫for free.
‫The same thing is applied with slides.
‫You see you're getting hit with element to a pro with Element tortes free.
‫So then I would go to that same exact process of seeing if there are slides that I can purchase.
‫So all this is is kind of checking to see if you absolutely have to go to a pro because there's something
‫missing or you can look into your plug ins list and find something that will offer you offer you the
‫same feature or functionality.
‫Plus if you're a person where all you need are forms and slides you may just be able to say hey you
‫know what I'm going to save the money I can get forms and slides through another plug in.
‫But if you look through this list and you're like oh my goodness I need everything here.
‫It might be beneficial from a cost perspective to go ahead and get the element to our problem.
‫Now one thing that I do like about this article is that you can click on a particular feature to see
‫what you're going to get.
‫So for instance this is slides and it shows you how to use the widget but it also shows you pretty much
‫the granularity of detail you're going to get with this actual slide provider.
‫And then from there you can compare this slide widget to another slide which is a very big factor in
‫making your decision may actually be the pricing.
‫So you'll go to elements or dot com and then from there you can click on pricing and then from here
‫you can see all of the options.
‫So $50 is for one site 100 is for three and then 200 for unlimited sites.
‫Now for several of my developers out there and well seasoned designers you may find that unlimited is
‫very beneficial because from that perspective you can use it across unlimited sites.
‫But if you're a person where you only need it for three or one These may be better options.
‫But just so you guys know you are getting the same exact thing.
‫And so if this is something that you may find that's beneficial to you you can go ahead and purchase.
‫They accept these providers here.
‫I will walk you through in another lecture how you would go to the process of purchasing the pro plug
‫in how you would install it and then I'll go over those pro features.
‫But that'll be again in a later lecture.
‫But this is just the basis of understanding what the differences are between free and Pro.
‫And then of course with the affiliated prices are as well.
