 * Looks like it’s free to use in the admin but you have to pay for that.

 * Hi [@dtrim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtrim/)
 * Meta Box is a library/framework to work with custom fields. While it serves end-
   users, the original target is developers. As a library, it can be used within
   other plugins and themes, so you don’t have to write the same code again and 
   again.
 * We write [our philosophy](https://docs.metabox.io/philosophy/) in our docs which
   explains this. I think it would be helpful to understand the purpose of the plugin.

 * Hi [@dtrim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtrim/),
 * This is no longer the case. We’ve just released [Meta Box Lite](https://metabox.io/lite/),
   a free UI version of Meta Box, which combines Meta Box, Meta Box Builder and 
   all free extensions that let you build custom post types, custom taxonomies, 
   custom fields, relationships for free.
 * Please check it out.
 * Cheers,
   Anh
