# Free vs Pro: Stock Triggers Feature Comparison

This table compares the free and Pro versions of [Automated Stock Update Triggers for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/stock-triggers-for-woocommerce/), based on how the plugin actually gates its features in code. In short: the full stock triggering engine, both decrease and increase, ships in the free version. Pro adds custom triggers and custom order statuses.

| Feature | Free | Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Decrease stock on chosen triggers | Yes | Yes |
| Increase (restore) stock on chosen triggers | Yes | Yes |
| Standard triggers (7 order statuses, Payment complete, Checkout order processed, Checkout update order meta) | Yes | Yes |
| Custom order statuses in the Triggers list | No | Yes |
| Custom triggers (type your own action hook names) | No | Yes |
| Remove standard WooCommerce triggers | Yes | Yes |
| Force order stock update | Yes | Yes |
| Require products / Require product categories | Yes | Yes |
| Adjust line item product stock on admin orders | Yes (core statuses) | Yes (plus custom statuses) |
| Admin new order stock action | Yes | Yes |
| Decrease stock / Increase stock bulk actions | Yes | Yes |
| Debug logging | Yes | Yes |
| HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible | Yes | Yes |

**Note:** the only differences between the versions are the two Pro rows above: custom order statuses in the Triggers list, and free-form custom triggers. Every other feature, including Increase Stock, bulk actions, and debug logging, works in the free version.
