Logify Free vs PRO — Feature Comparison
Not sure whether the free Logify is enough or you need Logify PRO? Free covers complete WordPress activity logging, filtering, multi-format export, an email digest, and automatic retention. PRO adds email logging, user sessions with force logout, real-time notifications, advanced analytics, and integrations with plugins such as WooCommerce, MemberPress, and Gravity Forms. This page compares both editions feature by feature so you can pick the right one.
What is Logify?
Logify is a WordPress activity log plugin that records who did what on your site — logins, content changes, plugin and theme activity, settings changes, and more — with severity scoring, filtering, and export. The free edition ships on WordPress.org; PRO unlocks real-time alerting, deeper analytics, and third-party integrations. The current version is 1.6.5.

FAQs
Is Logify free?
Yes. The free edition of Logify is available on WordPress.org and includes complete core activity logging, an Activity Logs viewer with filters, multi-format export (CSV, PDF, JSON, HTML, TXT), an email digest, exclusion rules, retention auto-purge, IP anonymisation, GeoIP lookup, and WP-CLI.

Does Logify Free log WooCommerce or MemberPress activity?
No. Integrations for WooCommerce, MemberPress, bbPress, Gravity Forms, Yoast SEO, ACF, and URL Shortify are PRO features. The free edition logs WordPress core activity — users, posts of every type, media, comments, plugins, themes, taxonomy, menus, widgets, options, and file edits.
Can Logify send real-time alerts on the free plan?
No. The free edition includes a scheduled Email Digest (daily, weekly, or monthly) but not real-time alerting. Real-time notifications to Email, Slack, a generic webhook, or Syslog — with per-destination event filters, minimum severity, and rate limiting — are a PRO feature.
How long does Logify keep logs?
By default Logify keeps 30 days of logs and purges older entries automatically. In both editions you can choose 7 days, 30 days, or "Keep Indefinitely" under Logify → Settings → General → Maintenance. See data privacy and log retention for details.
