Usually, plugins that are designed to perform the same function will differ significantly, and we can’t guarantee that the plugins listed below are perfect for a particular use-case – but it will certainly be a good place to start.
If a solution is missing from the list below, it’s probably because we haven’t road-tested enough plugins in that category to yet confirm that there is a “best option”.
Note: The ‘Paid’ option is only shown if better than the ‘Free’ option.
