Outstanding Plugin and Incredible Support!

By zentyx on July 5, 2025

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. It'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.

Not for admin

By Dan (dtrim) on November 15, 2024

Looks like it's free to use in the admin but you have to pay for that.

Moved from Toolset - so far so good

By psudan on October 3, 2024

I loved the Views and Conditional shortcode in Toolset. MB Views is good but not as user friendly, missing the conditional shortocde. On the other hand the Settings page in MB is great

Overall very happy with my move - integration with Bricks Builder is great!
