When looking for plugins how do people sort through all the ‘free’ plugins that sound great but are actually ‘fremuim’ where all the key features are actually in a PRO version?

How do you locate the fully featured proper open source plugins that are well maintained and used?

    I usually check the description for a link to GitHub or similar. Alternatively I directly search for the plugin name + “source code”

      Yeah … I am nothing that many plugins i looked at had source code available bit then when I looked further it was for the basic version while they offered a.pro version which was paid.

      I guess in these situations you need to dig into the licencing to find out where you stand.

      Perhaps also I am just too new to Wordpress to know the popular open source addons
