Regular Labs is a developer of extensions for Joomla!, the open-source content management system. It offers a catalog of 21 Pro extensions plus several free-only tools, covering module management, placing articles and modules anywhere on a page, custom code embedding, caching, CDN integration, modals, and more. Most extensions ship in both a FREE and a PRO version, and the site states its extensions are used on more than 100,000 websites. If you run Joomla and need finer control over where content appears or how the site behaves, Regular Labs is a relevant vendor to evaluate.

What kinds of extensions does Regular Labs offer?

The catalog groups into a few practical jobs. The table below maps the main extensions to what they do, based on the product list on the Regular Labs site.

Several of these carry a "JED Top 100" or "JED Top 500" label on the site, referring to placement in the Joomla Extensions Directory rankings. That is a popularity signal, not a guarantee of fit for your specific site.

How do the free and Pro versions differ?

The site labels most extensions "FREE & PRO," meaning a free edition exists alongside a paid Pro edition. The product pages are the place to confirm exactly which features sit behind Pro for any given extension — the home page does not break down feature-level differences. A sensible approach is to install the free edition, test whether it covers your use case, and only then look at Pro.

Two extensions are listed as FREE only: GeoIP (a geolocation library) and Better Frontend Link. Extension Manager is also listed as FREE and is the tool for installing and updating the other Regular Labs extensions.

What does the Pro bundle cost?

The site advertises two bundle offers that include all 21 Regular Labs Pro extensions:

• €49 per month, described as saving 70%
• €299 per year, described as saving 85%

Payments are handled through Paddle. These figures come from the bundle offer text on the Regular Labs site; check the purchase page for current terms, renewal behavior, and what the discount is measured against before committing.

Who is it for?

Regular Labs extensions target Joomla site builders and administrators who find the core system's placement and display options too limited. Typical situations:

• You want an article or module to appear inside another article's body, not just in a template position — Articles Anywhere and Modules Anywhere.
• You need to embed PHP, JavaScript, or other code in content that Joomla's editor would otherwise strip — Sourcerer.
• You want to show or hide blocks based on conditions such as user group or device — Conditional Content.
• You want faster page loads through caching and a CDN — Cache Cleaner and CDN for Joomla!.

If you do not use Joomla, none of this applies; these are Joomla-specific extensions, not a standalone platform.

How do you get started?

1. Identify the one or two jobs you need to solve from the table above, rather than installing the whole catalog.
2. Download the free edition of that extension from its product page on regularlabs.com.
3. Install it through Joomla's extension installer, or use the free Extension Manager to install and update Regular Labs extensions.
4. Test the free edition against your actual content and template.
5. If you hit a Pro-only feature, compare the monthly and yearly bundle prices and check the purchase page for terms.

Documentation, FAQs, and ticket support are linked from the site's Help section if you get stuck during setup.

Regular Labs publishes 21 Joomla extensions, most of them available in both FREE and PRO versions, and the right choice depends on the specific task rather than on installing everything. For the most common site jobs: use Advanced Module Manager to control where and when modules appear, Modules Anywhere and Articles Anywhere to place modules or articles inside content, Sourcerer to embed code, Conditional Content to restrict what visitors see, and Modals, Tabs & Accordions, Tooltips, or Quick Index for presentation elements. The free versions cover basic use; the PRO versions add features that you should confirm on each extension's own page before buying.

Start with the task, not the extension list

Regular Labs describes its extensions as a way to "change how you work with Joomla," make repetitive tasks faster, and create new possibilities. That framing is useful: each extension solves a narrow, recurring problem. The table below maps common site tasks to the extension that addresses them.

The four extensions most sites need first

Advanced Module Manager — module visibility and placement rules

This is the control layer for modules. Instead of relying only on Joomla's built-in menu assignment, it lets you take control over modules with finer conditions. Use it when a module should appear on some pages but not others, or only for certain users or contexts. It is one of the extensions Regular Labs lists in the JED Top 100.

Modules Anywhere and Articles Anywhere — content placement

These two solve a related pair of problems. Modules Anywhere places modules anywhere, including inside article text, so a module does not have to live in a template position. Articles Anywhere places articles anywhere, which is useful for pulling content from one article into another page or layout. Both are FREE & PRO and listed in the JED Top 100.

A practical example: a site wants a promotional banner module to appear inside the body of three specific articles rather than in a sidebar. Modules Anywhere handles the placement; Advanced Module Manager handles limiting where the module is active.

Sourcerer — embedding code in content

Sourcerer places any code in Joomla, which matters when the editor strips or escapes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or PHP. Use it when you need a script snippet, custom markup, or dynamic code inside an article or module. It is FREE & PRO and in the JED Top 100.

Presentation and content-control extensions

• Conditional Content restricts content based on your conditions — useful for showing blocks only to logged-in users or under other defined rules. FREE & PRO, JED Top 500.
• Modals creates modal popups. FREE & PRO, JED Top 100.
• Tabs & Accordions turns content into tabbed or collapsible sections. FREE & PRO.
• Tooltips adds hover tooltips. FREE & PRO.
• Quick Index adds a table of contents quickly. FREE & PRO.
• Content Templater creates predefined content, which helps when multiple editors must produce consistent pages. FREE & PRO, JED Top 100.

Maintenance and site-operation extensions

• Cache Cleaner cleans cache fast in Joomla. FREE & PRO, JED Top 100.
• DB Replacer searches and replaces in the Joomla database. FREE & PRO, JED Top 500.
• ReReplacer does advanced search and replace. FREE & PRO, JED Top 100.
• CDN for Joomla! connects a content delivery network. FREE & PRO, JED Top 500.
• Email Protector safely cloaks email addresses. FREE & PRO, JED Top 500.
• Extension Manager installs and updates Regular Labs extensions easily and quickly. FREE only.
• Better Frontend Link links to the frontend page you need. FREE only.

Free vs PRO: check the extension page, not a general rule

The homepage marks most extensions as "FREE & PRO," but it does not publish a feature-by-feature comparison. The free version is enough to test whether an extension fits your workflow; the PRO version is the paid tier. Because the specific differences are not listed on the page evidence available, confirm the exact feature split on the individual extension page before relying on a PRO-only capability. Do not assume that a feature you need is in the free version just because the extension is labeled FREE & PRO.

Licensing and cost signals

Regular Labs sells through Paddle and lists two bundle offers on its pricing page:

• All 21 Regular Labs Pro extensions, described as saving 70%, at €49 per month.
• All 21 Regular Labs Pro extensions, described as saving 85%, at €299 per year.

These are bundle prices for the full Pro set. Individual extension pricing and any login requirements are not specified in the available page evidence, so check the purchase page for the current terms rather than inferring them.

How to decide

1. List your actual pain points. If modules appear in the wrong places, start with Advanced Module Manager. If content needs to appear inside other content, start with Modules Anywhere or Articles Anywhere.
2. Install only what maps to a task. The extensions are modular by design; there is no requirement to install the full set.
3. Test with the free version first. Most extensions offer a free tier, which lets you validate the workflow before considering PRO.
4. Confirm PRO features on the extension page if your use case depends on a specific capability.
5. Consider the bundle only if you need several Pro extensions. At €299 per year for all 21, the bundle makes sense for sites that will use multiple Pro tools; for a single need, evaluate the individual option on the purchase page.

Regular Labs reports its extensions are used on more than 100,000 websites, and many carry JED Top 100 or Top 500 listings — a signal of adoption, though not a substitute for checking that a given extension matches your Joomla version and requirements.

Regular Labs sells its Pro extensions through two all-in-one bundle options listed on its pricing page: a monthly bundle at €49 per month and a yearly bundle at €299 per year. Both bundles include all 21 Regular Labs Pro extensions, and payment is handled through Paddle. The monthly option is advertised as saving 70% and the yearly option as saving 85% against buying extensions separately. These are the only prices shown in the available site material; per-extension Pro pricing and exact renewal or cancellation terms are not stated there, so confirm them at checkout before buying.

What each bundle includes

The bundle is not a single product. It covers the full Pro catalog, which the site lists as 21 extensions. The free versions of many of these are also available, so the bundle is mainly about unlocking Pro features across the whole set rather than gaining access to the extensions at all.

The site states that Regular Labs extensions are used on more than 100,000 websites, which is a useful signal of maturity but not a measure of whether the Pro bundle fits your needs.

Monthly vs yearly: how to choose

Use the same criteria for both options:

• Upfront cost: €49 for one month versus €299 for one year.
• Effective monthly cost: the yearly bundle works out to roughly €24.92 per month, about half the monthly rate.
• Commitment: the monthly plan lets you stop after a short project; the yearly plan suits sites you maintain continuously.
• Advertised saving: 70% monthly, 85% yearly, both measured against separate purchases.
• Scope: identical — all 21 Pro extensions either way.

A practical rule: if you expect to need Pro features for more than about six months, the yearly bundle costs less in total (6 × €49 = €294, already close to €299). If you only need Pro for a one-off migration, template build, or short client project, start monthly.

What to check before paying

The pricing page does not spell out every commercial term. Before completing a Paddle checkout, verify:

1. Renewal behavior — whether the monthly or yearly bundle renews automatically and at what price.
2. Per-extension Pro pricing — if you only need one or two Pro extensions, compare that cost against the bundle; the site's saving figures imply separate Pro purchases cost more in aggregate, but individual prices are not shown in the available material.
3. Support and update terms — the site offers documentation, FAQs, and ticket support; confirm what a Pro subscription entitles you to.
4. Joomla version compatibility — check each extension's page for the Joomla versions it supports before relying on the bundle for an older or newly upgraded site.

Bottom line

If you want the full Regular Labs Pro toolkit, the choice is between €49/month and €299/year for the same 21 extensions, paid via Paddle. Pick yearly for long-term sites and monthly for short engagements, and confirm renewal and single-extension pricing at checkout since those details are not published in the material reviewed here.

Regular Labs publishes 21 Joomla extensions, and most of them come in two editions: a free version and a Pro version. The free edition lets you install and use the extension at no cost, while the Pro edition adds functionality and support. The site's extension list marks each item as FREE, PRO, or FREE & PRO, so you can check the edition before you download. The main practical differences are the feature set, the support you can access, and whether you need the Pro bundle for multiple extensions.

How the editions are labeled

The extension catalog on regularlabs.com uses three labels:

Most extensions in the catalog carry the FREE & PRO label. A few are free only, such as Extension Manager and GeoIP. The catalog does not list a Pro-only extension, so in practice you can try the free edition of nearly everything before deciding whether to upgrade.

What the free edition gives you

The free edition is a working extension you can install on a Joomla site. The catalog describes each extension by what it does, for example:

• Advanced Module Manager — take control over modules in Joomla
• Articles Anywhere — place articles anywhere in Joomla
• Modules Anywhere — place modules anywhere in Joomla
• Sourcerer — place any code in Joomla
• ReReplacer — advanced search and replace for Joomla
• Conditional Content — restrict content based on your conditions

The free edition is the right starting point if you want to test whether an extension fits your site before paying. The catalog does not spell out which individual features are held back from the free edition, so the reliable way to check is to install the free version and compare it against the feature list in the documentation for that extension.

What the Pro edition adds

The Pro edition is the paid tier. The site's own framing of the paid offering is a bundle: "Get ALL 21 Regular Labs Pro extensions." That tells you two things. First, Pro editions exist across the whole catalog rather than for a single product. Second, the commercial offer is built around access to all of them together, not one at a time.

The bundle is advertised with two options:

Both are described as bundle offers for all 21 Pro extensions. The percentages are the site's own advertised savings, and the prices are the amounts shown on the purchase page. Check the purchase page for the current terms before buying, since the catalog page is a summary rather than the checkout.

Support: the difference that matters most

Support is where the editions diverge most clearly. The site provides these help channels:

• Documentation — per-extension documentation
• FAQs — a frequently asked questions section
• Ticket support — a support ticket system
• Contact — a general contact route

The catalog page does not state which of these are limited to Pro customers. The analysis note for this topic says Pro typically includes more features and update support, and that buying Pro gives you the corresponding support. Treat that as the working assumption, but confirm the exact support entitlement on the purchase page or in the documentation before you rely on ticket support for a free install.

A sensible approach: use the free edition and the documentation/FAQ while you evaluate. If you hit a problem the docs don't cover and you need a ticket, that is the point to check whether your edition includes ticket support.

How to choose

Use this decision path:

1. Identify the task. Match it to an extension in the catalog, for example "place a module inside an article" points to Modules Anywhere.
2. Install the free edition. Confirm it does what you need on your Joomla version.
3. Check the documentation for the feature you need. If the free edition covers it, you are done.
4. Count how many extensions you actually need. If it is one or two, compare the Pro bundle price against the value of the extra features. If it is several, the bundle's "all 21" framing is the relevant comparison.
5. Decide on support. If you need ticket support, confirm it is included in the edition you are buying.

Common sticking points

• "FREE & PRO" is not a promise that the free edition has every feature. It only means both editions exist. Verify specific features in the docs.
• The bundle is the advertised route to Pro. The catalog does not show per-extension Pro pricing, so don't assume you can buy a single Pro extension at a proportional price.
• Prices and savings are as displayed. The €49/month and €299/year figures and the 70%/85% savings are the site's advertised numbers; confirm at checkout.
• Payment is handled by Paddle. That is the payment platform listed, which matters if you need an invoice or have a billing question.
• Free does not mean unsupported forever. Documentation and FAQs are public entry points; use them first regardless of edition.

The short version: start free, read the docs for the specific feature, and buy the Pro bundle when you need Pro-only functionality or ticket support across several extensions.

Regular Labs provides three main self-service and support entry points from its site navigation: Documentation, FAQs, and Ticket Support. Use Documentation first for setup and usage instructions, FAQs for common questions, and Ticket Support when you need help from the team. The site also lists Contact and Pricing in the same menu area, and the free Extension Manager extension helps you install and update Regular Labs extensions.

Documentation

The Documentation link in the main menu is the place to start for instructions on individual extensions. Because Regular Labs offers 21 Pro extensions plus free versions — including Advanced Module Manager, Articles Anywhere, Modules Anywhere, Sourcerer, and ReReplacer — documentation is organized around those products. Go there when you need to know how to configure an extension or use a specific feature.

FAQs

The FAQs entry sits next to Documentation in the menu. Check it for recurring questions, such as the difference between free and Pro versions or how licensing and bundles work, before opening a support ticket.

Ticket Support

Ticket Support is the direct help channel listed in the navigation. Use it for issues that documentation and FAQs do not resolve. The site also lists a Contact page if your question is not a technical support matter.

Keeping Extensions Updated

The Extension Manager is a free Regular Labs extension described as a way to "install & update your Regular Labs extensions easily and quickly." If you run several Regular Labs extensions, installing it centralizes updates instead of handling each one separately.

Purchasing and Account Access

The Pricing link leads to the purchase page, where the site lists two bundle offers:

Payments are handled through Paddle. The site's main menu also includes Login, Sign up, and Log out options, so account-related tasks start there.

Quick Reference

A sensible order is Documentation → FAQs → Ticket Support. That sequence usually resolves configuration questions without waiting on a ticket, while Ticket Support remains available for anything unresolved.
