What Top Developers Are Saying

Used by thousands of experienced WordPress developers, Meta Box has proven itself a trusted, reliable, and effective solution for dynamic WordPress websites.

I have tried many frameworks for building meta boxes. This one is the best meta box plugin so far. The developer is pretty active, I have contributed several times. This plugin stays out of your way and has a pretty neat code base.
Ahmad Awais Ahmad Awais - ★★★★★
Compared to the competition, the design and extensibility of this plugin is significantly better. Its performance is better and it doesn't suffer from code bloat. The support team is pretty responsive and the documentation is pretty good!
Cory Lamle Cory Lamle - ★★★★★
You can tell this plugin is developed by a serious team that knows what they are doing. It is fast, flexible, lightweight, and very intuitive. It is more developer geared than some other solutions but this ultimately makes it more stable & powerful.
Clayton Chase Clayton Chase - ★★★★★
We did an extensive test with load on changing a term on a woocommerce product CPT with custom fields. With ACF it took 15 minutes and with Meta Box custom database tables it was less than 20 seconds! Highly recommend Meta Box.
Alexander van Aken Alexander van Aken - ★★★★★
I much prefer Meta Box over other similar meta box or custom field frameworks. They have very good documentation and examples available.
Phil Clothier Phil Clothier - ★★★★★
I have been using Meta Box AIO for 2+ years now and can't live without it. It's one of the first plugins I add to all my sites. With the amount of time Meta Box saves me, it is more than worth twice what I pay for it every year.
