# Additional Checkout Fields: Free vs Pro Versions Compared

## Difference between the free and Pro versions

The difference between the free and Pro versions of [Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/custom-checkout-fields-for-woocommerce/) is simple: how many custom fields you can add. Every field type and every option is available in the free version. The Pro version raises the field limit.

### The core difference

| Capability | Free | Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of custom fields | 1 | Up to 100 |
| All 19 field types (Text, Textarea, Number, Checkbox, Datepicker, Weekpicker, Timepicker, Select, Multiselect, Radio, Password, Country, State, Email, Phone, Color, Search, URL, Range) | Yes | Yes |
| Position options (Billing, Shipping, Account, Order notes, Priority) | Yes | Yes |
| Visibility rules (categories, tags, products, user roles, cart amount, shipping class, countries, by another field) | Yes | Yes |
| Fee options (fixed and percent) | Yes | Yes |
| Input, style, and type-specific options (Select2, datepicker, timepicker) | Yes | Yes |
| Duplicate a field per product / product item in cart | Yes | Yes |

### What this means in practice

On the free version you configure a single field with the full option set: any type, any section, visibility rules, and a fee if you want one. That covers stores that need just one extra piece of information at checkout, such as a delivery date or a VAT number.

The Pro version unlocks the **Custom fields number** setting (`alg_wc_ccf_total_number`) so you can add up to 100 fields. Each additional field has exactly the same options as the first. That is the whole upgrade: more fields, nothing hidden behind a separate feature wall.

### Ready to add more fields?

If you need more than one checkout field, upgrading takes a couple of minutes and lifts the limit to 100. [Get Custom Checkout Fields Pro](https://wpfactory.com/item/custom-checkout-fields-for-woocommerce/).
