Our table compares the five largest products in the Mega Menu niche: Clever Mega Menu, Ubermenu, Max Mega Menu, WP Mega Menu, and JetMenu.
It is immediately striking that the price of all products is practically the same and simultaneously quite democratic – from $25 to $29.
It might seem that all plugins for creating Mega Menu provide approximately the same functionality. And in general, it is. However, if you look closely, you will get a little more for the same money in some cases.
For example, horizontal, vertical, and submenus are among all plugins' features, but not all provide more advanced ones, such as the Hamburger menu, Secondary menu, and Desktop-independent mobile menu. Only JetMenu provides the complete set.
Regarding the types of content you can add, here, all plugins' capabilities are almost equal. By choosing any of them, you can use every conceivable type of content in the mega menu. The only exception is Ubermenu that does not yet support audio and video formats.
I would also like to draw your attention to the Mobile Menu. All plugins support basic functions like an opportunity to change the menu items, but the additional bonuses differ for each product. For example, only JetMenu allows you to customize the Breadcrumbs and Footer area, and also it is the only plugin that can shift the website content down in proportion to your menu height.
When choosing a plugin, pay attention to the functionality for building a site and the managing options too. For example, if you want to display different menus for different pages on the same website and not pay for another extension, JetMenu is also the only solution here to choose. Why is this cool? This gives you maximum control over the content and optimizes the site loading.
