The free plugin is not a demo.

Glitchpin is complete. Nothing in it is crippled, nothing in it is billed by usage, nothing in it expires. A brochure site, a blog or a shop can live with the free version for years, and many will.

Free
Glitchpin, free, coming soon to WordPress.org
The report button, section capture and the free zone, the description, sending, the email to the administrator, the optional notification of the visitor with double opt-in, the list and the detail of reports, the "New" and "Done" statuses, the trash, the basic settings (texts, position, colour), the technical context, GDPR export and erasure, retention, and simple visibility: enable or disable the widget, exclude pages.
No outbound requests. No account. No subscription.

Pro
Glitchpin Pro, the paid plugin
Capture annotation (arrow, rectangle, drawing, text, manual black-out), automatic masking of sensitive fields, full tickets (5 statuses, priority, type, assignment), occurrences and duplicate detection, history and internal notes, QA pins on the site, the Kanban, the overview, signed webhooks, text correction, JavaScript errors, advanced visibility (URL, content types, taxonomies, roles, environments), JSON import / export with an AI prompt, and advanced widget customisation.
Glitchpin Pro requires Glitchpin 3.0.0 or later, installed and active. Deactivating Pro loses nothing: tickets, occurrences, history, notes and settings stay in the database, and the free plugin keeps showing the reports.
Buy Glitchpin Pro

Glitchpin Pro is aimed at those who are no longer content with just receiving reports: they have to be sorted, shared out, not dealt with ten times over, kept on record, and you need to know where the site stands. It is a team tool, not an "unlocked" version.
