Amazing value and incredible support.
I couldn’t be more impressed with the ACPT plugin! Not only is the tool incredibly powerful—easily matching everything ACF can do—but it does it all at a third of the price. The interface is intuitive, the features are robust, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into its development. What really blew me away, though, was the support. I submitted a question and got a clear, helpful response in under 12 hours. That level of responsiveness is rare and shows how much the team stands behind their product. I was so impressed, I went ahead and purchased the Lifetime deal—and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my workflow. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. You won’t regret it!

Toolbox complete
thank you for bring ACPT in the WP. Now my toolbox is complete. Last but not least, the support from Mauro is speachless. Great job! Encourage you to buy the PRO version. No doubt this will have a bright future!

Fantastic! My Experience of ACPT PRO so Far
Using ACPT for a week now. My experience so far. 4 tickets, with one bug, a feature request and two others. The developer, Mauro, responds within a day but most sooner, very fast. Fixes things fast, and sees feedback as part of growing the plugin. Positive mindset... Plugin is great.I come from PODS. Hardly get response. Needs custom coding for complex relation or other functionality. Is ACPT perfect? Not yet, but developing fast. And I love a developer who is up for it and actually responds to feedback and does something with it.How can we help? Every plugin update get's a BETA release first. Lets help Mauro by testing it and give good feedback in the Support/Help Dashboard of ACPT website.We will benefit to the max from this. Mauro, keep up the good work. If you need my help, just let me know. Ps. Trolls or negative people are everywhere, dont mind them. For this price and even more expensive, you cannot find the combo of support vs functionality.

Goodbye ridiculous ACF Pro Pricing
With APCT there finally is a good upcoming competitor for ACF Pro, with a much more reasonable pricing structure. It's developing very quickly, and the developer is responsive. Get an LTD while you can!
