Advanced Custom Post Type Lite uses Appsero SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.

Appsero SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.

Integrating Appsero SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.

Learn more about how Appsero collects and uses this data.

Amazing value and incredible support.

By bullcitywebdesign on July 20, 2025

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

By Gabriel Nistor (springbreak) on December 13, 2024

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

By elementador on December 13, 2024

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.

Happy pro user

Happy pro user of ACPT - great features, very affordable - highly recommended!

Goodbye ridiculous ACF Pro Pricing

By TwanPeeters on June 28, 2024

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!

Great features

By ciberosv1983 on May 27, 2024

Is easy to use and manage. Besides provides extra features like the forms and external data sources. Excelllent alternative to ACF

100% recommendable

By Ale Betancourt (alebetancourt) on October 30, 2023

This plugin is worth every penny you pay. In the pro version you find most of the things you need to build dynamic sites. In relation to the price-benefit ratio it is exceeding my expectations. I am sure that new features are coming that will give a lot of value to my projects.

Thank you for your support

Great Custom Post Type Plugin

By wpsay on July 7, 2023

Very pleased that I purchased the Pro version of ACPT. This is a relatively new and well-designed custom post type/custom field plugin by an active developer. Mauro is responsive to user feedback and frequently adds new features and improves existing ones.

ACPT also integrates with some of the most popular WP site/page builders. I highly recommend it - I don't think it can be beaten at its current price. I have switched from MetaBox and am very happy with the decision. Looking forward to the future updates and progress of ACPT.
