# Comparison Chart – WP Plugins For Content Type / Custom Fields

 * FYI, while researched a lot of plugins to decide which is best for a project 
   I’m working on, I came across this comparison chart developed by the guys at 
   PODS.
 * The chart details all the features of most of the plugins on the market (both
   free & premium) that create custom content types & fields. Most of the plugins
   features are verified by the plugin owners.
 * DB Toolkit is one of the most feature rich plugins on the list beating many of
   the rest by far. However, it’s features haven’t been verified by Desertsnowman.
   In fact, I believe they made a mistake on the chart when it comes to DB Toolkit.
 * The chart states that DB Toolkit does not do Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies,
   Override Post Types (args/labels), or Override Taxonomies (args/labels). From
   my understanding of this plugin, that’s not true.
 * I thought this chart would be of use to the community. The chart is available

 * Thanks for pointing that list out. It’s great to have the comparison available
   and I should have pointed it out a while ago.
 * I provided all the info for DBT on that list. I’m technically a contributor to
   Pods, although I’ve been inactive for a few months due to work. (SIGH!!) [https://github.com/pods-framework?tab=members](https://github.com/pods-framework?tab=members)
 * DBT does not do native custom post types or any overrides to taxonomies, custom
   or otherwise. The reasons are simple; I had no idea what they where when I built
   it. Fortunately, the direction DBT is going, I feel they are not necessary. DBT
   Allows you to build new content mechanisms. Therefore adapting current structures
   defeats the object of forming new custom systems.
 * DBT is made to use WordPress as a platform, then you build your app on top of
   that layer, where is custom posts types allow you pull more out of the current.
 * I don’t feel DBT is better than any of the others listed. I have merely taken
   a different approach. And that difference, although feature rich, comes at the
   price of ease of use.
