I purchased the basic agency and then 2 extensions at separate times. I realized I should have purchased the ultimate agency instead and asked if I would be pro-rated if I did so. Anh Tran came in and pro-rated all purchases and the upgrade was done beyond what I had hoped. I was blown away by the fast response and the solution to my request. Plus the software does so many thing so very well. Totally recommended.

Although I admittedly donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t have extensive experience with alternatives, I have tried Pods, Toolset, and ACF, and Meta Box will for me always be the GOAT. Love this software. Makes WordPress the best CMS in the world. Try it and you wonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t look back. The support, community, and docs are top notch. Disclaimer: I am a pro tier customer; but if you use and find value from this software, then you, too, should consider paying it forward and buying pro, even if you donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t need it. Happy hacking to all.

The performance is impressive, and the plugin is constantly maintained. ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s especially nice that it works seamlessly with Breakdance Visual Builder. Thanks to sample code from Metabox (thanks for the excellent documentation), I was finally able to configure a relationship I hadnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t been able to get past on my own.

MetaBox has been a game-changer for my WordPress development workflow. The usability is intuitive and highly functional — everything just makes sense and works seamlessly. What truly sets MetaBox apart, though, is the customer support. ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s hands down some of the best I’ve ever experienced. Fast, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a powerful and flexible custom fields plugin.
