When writing posts or creating pages in WordPress, you may need to present your content in a more organized way, beyond the paragraphs and lists that WordPress natively allows. Sometimes you need to present your information in a more visually compelling format: tables. In this post, we’ll look into some of our favorite (and top-rated) WordPress table plugins.

You already know that pricing tables are the format of choice when businesses want customers to understand how their different pricing options compare, but tables are just as effective when used to showcase other types of information. Even when readers skim through a post, they will stop when they see a table and try to understand what it’s about.

This list showcases the best WordPress table plugins, both free and paid, and we will determine which is best for your particular purpose.
