Before you choose
No. Free has no trial period and needs no Gate House account or license. Download it from WordPress.org and receive updates through WordPress.
Keep Free installed and active, then download the matching Pro add-on from your account. Activate both together. Pro adds its controls to the base plugin. See the installation guide for setup and instructions for existing complete-edition installations.
Yes. Existing founding and lifetime licenses include the Pro add-on under their existing terms. You do not need to buy a second license. Sign in to your account for eligible downloads.
Your installed local protection keeps working. Automatic Pro updates and email support continue through your paid term. After it expires, you can still download releases your license is eligible for from your account. Cloud services require an active license.
No. Native WordPress forms work without WooCommerce, and built-in keyless checks need no provider account. Both editions also support Turnstile, reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha when you supply your own keys.
Each license allows up to five qualifying staging or local copies in addition to its production-site allowance. Check the test-site requirements before activating.
