The easiest way to compare the Lite and Premium versions of wpDataTables is directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Once you install and activate the free (Lite) version of the plugin, navigate to:
wpDataTables → Lite vs Premium tab.
This section provides a clear, side-by-side comparison of all features — showing exactly which options are available in the Premium version, and which are limited or unavailable in Lite.
This should help you quickly determine whether upgrading is the right fit for your needs.
