# Products Per Page: Free vs Pro Versions Compared

## Free vs Pro version comparison

The free version of [Number of Products per Page - Pagination Manager for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/products-per-page-woocommerce/) includes the selector, all positions, template controls, cookies, sessions, scopes, and the default value. Pro adds only two features: an editable Select options list, which is fixed to 10, 25, 50, 100, and All in the free version, and the Products per Page widget.

### What is Pro

Only two things are gated behind Pro:

- **Editable Select options list** (option id `alg_products_per_page_select_options`): in the free version the list of per-page choices is fixed to `10`, `25`, `50`, `100` and `All`, and the field is read-only. Pro lets you edit this list.
- **Products per Page widget** (option id `alg_wc_products_per_page_widget_enabled`): the sidebar and block-area widget is Pro. The checkbox is disabled in the free version.

Everything else, including all positions, the full template controls, cookies, sessions, scopes and the default value, is available in the free version.

| Products per Page widget | No | Yes |

### Ready to set this up?

If the fixed list of per-page options or the sidebar widget is what you need, those are Pro features of [Products per Page](https://wpfactory.com/item/products-per-page-woocommerce/). Upgrading takes a couple of minutes and unlocks both. [Get Products per Page Pro](https://wpfactory.com/item/products-per-page-woocommerce/).
