Business Directory Plugin vs FindLaw Lawyer Directory

Both stand on business directories. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Business Directory Plugin

Free plan Self-hosted

Business Directory Plugin provides a broad set of directory tools, including unlimited listings in its free core. A self-hosted WordPress site is required, and customers should account for Stripe’s additional fee and the limits on custom-code support.

FindLaw Lawyer Directory

Free plan Web

Choose FindLaw Lawyer Directory to search for U.S. legal providers by issue, place, or name, or to browse its listings. Firms seeking profile features and monthly reporting can consider Premium Profiles; the main reason to look elsewhere is if you need a directory beyond U.S. lawyers and law firms.
