Often beginners wonder how does WordPress make money if the plugins are free. Well, WordPress does not own all these plugins.

初学者常常想知道如果插件免费，WordPress如何赚钱。好吧，WordPress并不拥有所有这些插件。

Since WordPress is open-source, majority of these free plugins are written by third-party developers who want to give back to the WordPress community and build a brand for themselves, so they can get more client-work.

由于WordPress是开源的，因此大多数免费插件都是由第三方开发人员编写的，他们希望回馈WordPress社区并为自己建立品牌，以便他们获得更多的客户服务。

But the issue is that like any other software, WordPress plugins also need to be properly maintained and updated. Although the individual developer is not required to offer support, most of them go above and beyond to help users and even add new features as requested.

但是问题是，像任何其他软件一样，WordPress插件也需要正确维护和更新。尽管不需要单独的开发人员提供支持，但是他们中的大多数人都可以帮助用户甚至根据要求添加新功能。

As you can imagine, all these things take a lot of time and resources. Plugin authors are often unable to give free plugins proper attention as they grow and get a larger user base.

您可以想象，所有这些事情都需要大量时间和资源。插件作者随着他们的成长和获得更大的用户群，往往无法给予免费插件适当的关注。

For some plugin developers, it becomes difficult to take time out of their work and personal life to maintain a free product over a long period.

对于某些插件开发人员而言，要花费大量的时间和精力来维持免费的产品变得很困难。

This is where premium WordPress plugins come in.

这是高级WordPress插件出现的地方。

For a small licensing fee, you get access to dedicated support, guaranteed updates, and premium features. The license fee provides plugin authors steady income, so they can improve the product and dedicate more time to growing their WordPress plugin business.

只需支付少量的许可费用，即可获得专用支持，有保证的更新和高级功能。许可费为插件作者提供了稳定的收入，因此他们可以改善产品并花更多时间发展WordPress插件业务。

On the other hand, it gives you, the customer, a more refined product with reliable support and updates.

另一方面，它通过可靠的支持和更新为您的客户提供了更精致的产品。

That being said, let’s talk about when you should consider buying premium WordPress plugins.

话虽如此，让我们谈谈何时应该考虑购买高级WordPress插件。

To help you decide, we have added the top reasons that justify investing in a premium WordPress plugin.

为帮助您做出决定，我们添加了证明有理由投资优质WordPress插件的主要理由。

1.解决方案特定的WordPress插件 (1. Solutions Specific WordPress Plugins)

There are some WordPress plugin categories that cater to very specific solutions. For example, building a membership website or selling online courses are hard work.

有一些WordPress插件类别可以满足非常具体的解决方案。例如，建立会员网站或销售在线课程是艰苦的工作。

Free plugins alone cannot do justice to these complex solutions. Even if you find a free plugin for the job, you will likely have to purchase paid addons to support their business.

单靠免费插件无法解决这些复杂的解决方案。即使您找到了一个免费的插件来工作，您也可能不得不购买付费插件来支持他们的业务。

If you are building a website that requires a very specific / advanced functionality, then you will be better off with a premium WordPress plugin.

如果您要建立一个需要非常特定/高级功能的网站，那么使用高级WordPress插件会更好。

2.高级功能 (2. Advanced Features)

While there are free plugins for most basic tasks, you will only find advanced features in paid plugins. That’s mainly because building and maintaining advanced features take a lot of resources.

虽然有用于大多数基本任务的免费插件，但您只能在付费插件中找到高级功能。这主要是因为构建和维护高级功能会占用大量资源。

For example, while WPForms Lite is the most beginner-friendly WordPress contact form plugin, the pro version of WPForms comes with advanced features like user registration form, surveys and polls, payment forms, etc.

例如，虽然WPForms Lite是最适合初学者的WordPress联系人表单插件，但WPForms的专业版具有高级功能，如用户注册表单，调查和民意调查，付款表单等。

3.插件开发人员的专用支持 (3. Dedicated Support from Plugin Developers)

Support is not guaranteed with free WordPress plugins because free plugin authors are not required to offer support. If you are new to WordPress with no programming skills, then support becomes crucial for you. Premium WordPress plugins give you faster email responses for your support questions.

使用免费的WordPress插件不能保证支持，因为不需要免费的插件作者即可提供支持。如果您不熟悉WordPress而没有编程技能，那么对您来说支持至关重要。高级WordPress插件可为您提供有关支持问题的更快的电子邮件回复。

4.广泛的文档和教程 (4. Extensive Documentation and Tutorials)

Premium and paid WordPress plugins provide extensive documentation to help you get started without even contacting support. Many premium WordPress plugins have docs or resources sections where you can find guides, tutorials, and video instructions. These resources help you use the plugin without waiting for someone to help you out.

高级和付费WordPress插件提供了广泛的文档，可帮助您入门而无需联系支持人员。许多高级WordPress插件都有文档或资源部分，您可以在其中找到指南，教程和视频说明。这些资源可帮助您使用插件，而无需等待有人帮助您。

5.定期和频繁更新 (5. Regular and Frequent Updates)

Free WordPress plugins are sometimes abandoned by their developers. This leaves your website open to security vulnerabilities and bugs. Sometimes you might not even realize that a plugin has been abandoned until you see your site behaving strangely after updating WordPress.

免费的WordPress插件有时会被其开发人员抛弃。这使您的网站容易受到安全漏洞和错误的影响。有时，您可能甚至没有意识到插件已被放弃，直到您在更新WordPress后看到站点行为异常。

Premium WordPress plugins give you regular updates to address bugs, glitches, and most importantly any security issues. You don’t have to do anything as those updates would automatically appear in your WordPress dashboard, and you can install them with just a few clicks. See our guide on how to properly update WordPress plugins for detailed instructions.

高级WordPress插件可为您提供定期更新，以解决错误，故障以及最重要的任何安全问题。您无需执行任何操作，因为这些更新将自动出现在WordPress仪表板中，您只需单击几下即可安装它们。有关详细说明，请参阅有关如何正确更新WordPress插件的指南。

6.新功能和增强功能 (6. New Features and Enhancements)

Free WordPress plugins usually don’t have an incentive to enhance and improve something that is already working for many websites.

免费的WordPress插件通常没有动力去增强和改进已经在许多网站上运行的功能。

On the other hand, paid WordPress plugins are businesses with competition. In order to stay on top, they continuously work on their products by adding new features and improving existing features. Depending on your license terms, you will get access to those features right away.

另一方面，付费WordPress插件是竞争激烈的企业。为了保持领先地位，他们通过添加新功能和改进现有功能来不断开发自己的产品。根据您的许可条款，您将立即访问这些功能。

7.支持WordPress生态系统 (7. Supporting The WordPress Ecosystem)

Premium WordPress plugin companies are small businesses. By purchasing a license, you help them build a sustainable business that provides for their families and even creates new jobs all over the world.

高级WordPress插件公司是小型企业。通过购买许可证，您可以帮助他们建立可持续的业务，为他们的家庭提供服务，甚至在世界各地创造新的就业机会。

Your small payment helps those developers create killer products for other small businesses like yours and improve the WordPress ecosystem (See: Most influential companies in WordPress).

您的小额付款可帮助那些开发人员为像您这样的其他小企业创建杀手级产品，并改善WordPress生态系统(请参阅： WordPress中最具影响力的公司 )。
