All 15 Free only 15 Premium only

Choosing a WordPress plugin for roles & permissions comes down to a few things: whether it is still actively maintained, whether real users rate it well, and whether it does the specific job you need without dragging the rest of the site down.

We list 6 plugins here with the details that matter — what each one does, who makes it and how current it is.

How this list is funded. Some links here earn us a commission if you buy. It costs you nothing extra, and it does not move anything up the list — the order comes from the WPScore, which is calculated from public ratings, install counts and update history. See the method.
