[Resolved] Comparison Free vs Premium

[stesch79]

Is there a list somewhere to see the differences between the Free and the Premium version of GP?

Hi there,

GP Premium simply adds features to the Free theme, as opposed to changing them.
You can see a list of all the Pro Modules in the sidebar of this page:

Thanks David.

That’s not excatly what I’ve searched for. For example: With the Free and the Premium you have a Typography settings menu. But whats the difference between the free and the premium Typography?

On https://generatepress.com/premium/ is says: “Over 70 typography options give you complete control over your site text.”. What options are that, that are only available in premium?

[David]

For typography the free version only has settings for Body, H1, H2, H3. Apart from the H3 they all have Mobile sizes included. All of those options are under the one Typography setting.

In Premium, Typography settings are provided for all main theme elements as displayed in the first screenshot here:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/typography-overview/

Body now has its own settings, and Headings are separated as well and provide H1 – H6, as well as a separate H1 for posts and a separate H2 for archives.

Additional typography settings are included when the relevant module/element is in place.
For example if Secondary Nav is enabled, or the Top Bar contains a widget, then its own Typography Settings are displayed.

The same applies to the Customizer > Colors. Free has a predefined set of theme colors. There is no granular controls. Whereas Premium provides a color option for each of the various tryography settings and for each and every other element or module.

Thanks, that’s what I need!

An and beside Colors and Typography, all other Modules are completley unavailable in Free version, right? Thus no Backgrounds, no Spacing, no Secondary Nav, etc.?

[David]

Thats correct all other modules add features that are unavailable in free.

Thanks.

If I would be a future customer, I would much appreciate if all this could be reflected in a comparison table.

I have taken the liberty, for my own documentation, to do so on my site: https://www.sciurus.ch/2020/12/15/generatepress/ (in German)

[David]

Thats great!
Yes, we are working on improving documentation our recent focus has been on our Youtube channel that will help users to learn the GP way. Really appreciate you taking the time to give us this feedback!

If it helps, I have put together a quick comparison of the features + screenshots of the settings available in GeneratePress Free and Pro here https://wpcubicle.com/generatepress-theme-review/#difference-between-generatepress-free-and-pro
