Without explaining all in-depth details of both plug-ins, there are some major differences in combination with Beaver Themer. Hopefully this blogpost helps in deciding which way you would like to go.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Warning: this a so-called ‘long-read’ \ud83d\ude09
\n\u2022 Content on both test websites totally random
\n\u2022 Used Pods beta version 2.7.0-b-1 for this comparison because of its new extended\u00a0bidirectional relational capacities

\"\"<\/a>Both plug-ins are very popular for various kind of database publishing<\/a> within the WordPress CMS. ACF<\/a> is ‘just’ about creating fields and has the most extended set\u00a0of fieldtypes in the market. Pods<\/a> offers the creation of both Custom Post Types, fields as well as a powerful (HTML like) editor for making layouts (which we will not use\/need in this test, we do use Themer for creating the templates). Pods competes (functional) with Toolset<\/a> (the combination of Types and Views). If you use ACF, you need to grab some tool for creating the CPT. In combination with Themer, ACF integrated in a basic way\u00a0for making both archive and single (custom) post types templates.<\/p>\n
