Free decides who can watch and marks every stream with the viewer's name. Pro is about knowing more and wiring the player into the course plugin you sell with.
The licence brings updates, not features. Every Pro feature keeps working without an active key.

Before you buy
Is the free plugin a trial?
No. There is no licence key, no expiry and no site limit. Login and role gates, the domain lock, the viewer watermark, the stream limit, resume and watch analytics are all in the free plugin.
When is Pro worth it?
When you sell through LearnDash, Tutor LMS or LifterLMS and want only enrolled students to watch, when you want to see where students stop watching, or when you want more than name and IP on the watermark. If none of those is your problem yet, stay on free.
Do the Pro tiers have different features?
No. Personal, Professional and Agency carry every Pro feature. The only difference is how many sites the licence covers.
What happens if my annual licence lapses?
Nothing switches off. The licence brings updates and support, not features, so every Pro feature keeps working without an active key. You stop receiving updates until you renew.
Does Pro add DRM or stop downloads?
No. Neither tier is DRM. MediaShield deters casual copying and identifies the account behind a leaked recording; it does not stop a determined person keeping a copy. If encrypted playback is a hard requirement, use a DRM video service.
Where do I download it? Is it on wordpress.org?
Both the free plugin and Pro download from wbcomdesigns.com. MediaShield is not on the WordPress plugin directory, so support runs through the Wbcom Designs ticket system.
Do you refund?
Yes. Pro has a 30-day money-back guarantee under the Wbcom Designs refund policy. Ask through the support ticket system.
Start free. Upgrade when a course needs it.
Nothing in the free plugin expires, so there is no deadline to decide.
WBComDesigns is amazing. The WP plugins and themes are of top notch quality with lots of features and updated very frequently. Supports are very responsive and helpful. I use Reign with TutorLMS, and the experience is surprisingly smooth. The recently launched BuddyNext Pro and MediaShield Pro are…
