beamkiller –
It’s a very good plugin. If you have attributes and many products too compare this is the best solution.
And it is responsive too 🙂
effective_advisory –
Easy to setup and almost provide all feature that I need for my site. Great customer support also.
Keep up the good work!
giac_14 –
Great plugin and support as always with the bd-zine guys, customization is very easy with the plugin setting pane and working with css to go even further is quite easy. Reccomended.
Borisla –

bare123 –
One of the best premium Compare Plugins we have seen before. Easy setup, very flexible in what data you want to have your products compared to and the most important: responsive!
Like the work and hope for updates soon.

What a beautiful plugin. Solves an important need for customers who want to make informed purchase decisions. It has an excellent front as well as back end design. To top it all, its extremely lightweight as well. Worth the purchase.
Thomas Marx –
Ich habe mich 9 Monate lang mit 2 anderen Vergleichsprodukten herumgeschlagen und habe sie nicht in den Griff bekommen.
Dann habe ich dieses Produkt gefunden vor ein paar Tagen und war sofort begeistert und erfolgreich.
– Alle anderen Vergleichsprodukte in WordPress löschen
– dieses Produkt kaufen und downloaden und installieren
– ohne Änderung der Parameter sind die Effekte sofort klar sichtbar und die Produktvergleiche laufen, da sie auf die Produkt Standardparameter Eigenschaften der variablen Produkte zurückgreifen. Ich habe die Ajax Variante gewählt.
– dann durch die Parameter gehen und das Tool individuell anpassen
– bestehende Produkte teilweise an die neuen Gegebenheiten anpassen
— das wars und es läuft und ich finde es toll. Ich gratuliere dem Entwicklerteam.
