Connections Business Directory vs Directbase

Connections Business Directory is a self-hosted WordPress plugin for building address books, staff directories, business directories, and link directories. The maker says it can manage hundreds of thousands of entries. Listings support repeatable addresses, phone numbers, email, instant messaging, social media, links, dates, custom fields, search, and filters. Basic templates display entries, while premium templates change front-end presentation. Free and premium extensions add CSV import, visitor submission forms, and custom ordering. The Form extension sends submissions to moderation and can notify administrators. The Contact extension lets visitors email listings without exposing their addresses, with logging and anti-spam measures. Administrators can restrict viewing to logged-in users and mark entries public, private, or unlisted. Pro Pack connectors link the plugin with Frontend File Manager and Gravity Forms. The free plugin costs nothing, while paid bundles include one-time options such as Extension Pro Pack at 29.99 USD and Pro Pack — Unlimited Sites at 299.99 USD.
