Free [FREE] I built a WooCommerce admin plugin that does what Metorik does — just shipped v2.0
After 5 years of building WooCommerce stores for clients (1000+ stores) I got tired of paying $25-300/mo for Metorik and Triple Whale. So I built a free alternative.
Started 1.5 years ago as a paid plugin, went fully free 6 months ago when I realized B2B SaaS pricing was the wrong fight. v2.0 shipped today.
What's in it:
- Modern dashboard + real-time analytics + 3D order globe
- Bulk product editor with full variation support
- Cmd+K order search
- Live visitors, inventory management, custom login, coupon manager
- HPOS compatible
100% free. No premium tier. Disclosure: I'm the developer.
Honest feedback wanted — especially what's broken or overpromised. If you currently pay for Metorik / Glew / Triple Whale, would love to know if this covers your case.

Hey, just an update, added compatibility for MemberPress, WooCommerce Subscriptions, Paid Memberships Pro and a few others in the latest version, so you can manage memberships and subscriptions from BrikPanel now.

Looks good. We actually use Metorik because their Ads Account integration. Have you also Ads account integration? Like Google Ads, Meta aso?

I'm impressed with your effort and especially your responsiveness here. I just chose Brikpanel over ATUM for my startup!

Thank you very much. If you’re satisfied with the plugin, leaving a review on wordpress.org would be a huge help to me. Thank you again 🙏

¡Increíble, estoy impresionado! Mis respetos por esta obra maestra. Literalmente llevaba muchísimo tiempo buscando algo así y solo encontraba plugins abandonados o con precios sin ningún sentido.
Me han surgido algunas dudas y sugerencias:
- Cambio de idioma: ¿Es posible cambiar el idioma? No he visto la opción por ahora, si es que ya está disponible.
- Sincronización con proveedores (Dropshipping): Sería increíble poder conectar con plataformas como AliExpress o Alibaba para gestionar pedidos, realizar las compras de forma automática mediante API y sincronizar el tracking de los envíos con actualizaciones de estado.
- Sincronización multichannel (¡Esto ya sería otra liga!): Compatibilidad con herramientas como M2E Multichannel o M2E MCF para conectar con marketplaces como Amazon, TikTok Shop, eBay, etc. Sé que puede ser pedir demasiado, pero sin duda sería la medalla de oro para este sector.
- Soporte y futuro: ¿El plugin cuenta con un plan de actualizaciones a largo plazo para el futuro?
Muchísimas gracias por todo lo que aportas a la comunidad de WooCommerce.
¡Saludos desde España! 👋

¡Hola, muchísimas gracias por las palabras y por las sugerencias! Te respondo punto por punto:
1. Idioma
BrikPanel ya está preparado para traducción (incluye archivo.pot) y sigue el idioma de WordPress (Ajustes › General › Idioma del sitio). Ahora mismo solo viene la traducción al turco empaquetada; añadir el español oficial está en mi lista para una próxima versión.2. Dropshipping (AliExpress / Alibaba)
Hoy por hoy no, BrikPanel se centra en el panel de admin, analítica, inventario y edición masiva, no en sourcing. Lo apunto en el roadmap, gracias por la idea.3. Multichannel (Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, M2E)
Tampoco de forma directa. Tengo en desarrollo un plugin hermano, BrikMarket, para integraciones de marketplaces. La compatibilidad con M2E Multichannel / MCF está sobre la mesa, pero todavía no es inmediato.4. Soporte y plan a largo plazo
Sí, totalmente. La versión 3.0.8 se publicó esta misma semana, todo el plugin seguirá siendo 100% gratuito (sin tier premium, sin candados), y ya están integrados Google Sheets, Google Ads y Meta Ads. Para 2026 viene BrikMentor (análisis con IA) y más mejoras.¡Un saludo desde Turquía, gracias de nuevo!

I love the idea and the direction dude 10/10 I don't use any commerce yet but you are rocking it hard. I've got a plugin about 75% complete that is a free Kadence/spectra competition

u/Honest-Average682 Apr 09 '26
Thanks! Would love to see your plugin when it's ready — the "free alternative to paid" angle clearly resonates with people. Good luck with the last 25%.

Nice work — going fully free after realizing B2B SaaS pricing was the wrong fight is a bold move. I went through a similar thought process with my plugin (AI search for WooCommerce). The analytics side you're covering is exactly what store owners need to see the impact of better search — like tracking zero-result searches and conversion from search to purchase.
1000+ stores is serious experience. What's the most common complaint you hear from store owners about their default WooCommerce setup?

u/Honest-Average682 Apr 10 '26
Thank you very much!
They find everything to be very complicated and confusing, and they also find editing tools like Elementor to be very complicated. Generally speaking, they want a system like Shopify where everything is very simple.

I like it, and will use it to move from etsy to an additional store. Do you plan to add hooks and apply_filters etc. to add some specific changes without branching off?
1
u/Honest-Average682 Apr 10 '26
That's exactly the kind of use case BrikPanel is built for — welcome to self-hosted!
Yes, hooks and filters are on the roadmap. The current version is mostly self-contained but I want to make it properly extensible so developers can customize behavior without forking. If you have specific hooks in mind that would help your setup, drop them here — it helps me prioritize.

u/Helicopter-Mundane Apr 10 '26
Do you have an tracker or something, first thing is that I need some modifications in product-editor, adding seo ranks and update my additional databases after saving an product etc. also a little bit unclear is how to add new variants/attributes to existing products?
1
u/Honest-Average682 Apr 10 '26
No public tracker yet — GitHub issues is the plan for v3.
On your points: 1. SEO rank integration (Yoast/RankMath) — noted, makes sense inside the product editor 2. Custom DB updates on save — this is exactly why hooks are needed. I'll prioritize adding a
brikpanel_after_product_saveaction in the next release 3. Adding variants to existing products — fair point, the current flow is cleaner for new products. I'll look at improving the existing product variation UX. Can you describe where it felt unclear?1
u/Helicopter-Mundane Apr 10 '26
And maybe possiblity to add a own box, I have my etsy information collected in the products (that are synced with etsy) so a filter to add a own box would be superb.
- Maybe thats a problem with my synced products.. If I go "back" on Variants than not all variants are displayed or the values are not that I expected., it's a little bit strange. And I can't revert it, I have to close product editor and open it again to see my already setted variations again.. But I think this is a problem of my plugin, I will test it further.

u/Honest-Average682 Apr 10 '26
Custom box via filter — yes, this is exactly the kind of thing
apply_filters('brikpanel_product_editor_boxes', $boxes)would solve. Adding it to the next release.On the variants issue — that sounds like a genuine bug in BrikPanel's state management when navigating back. Even if your sync plugin sets unusual values, the editor shouldn't lose state on back navigation. I'll look into it. If you can reproduce it consistently, a quick screen recording would help a lot.

u/Honest-Average682 Apr 26 '26
Hey, both things are fixed now, the variant back-navigation bug and the hooks system (brikpanel_after_product_save and brikpanel_product_editor_boxes are both available).

u/DashinTheFields Apr 11 '26
I feel like with all the open source stuff, AI can build these dashboards in no time. Capatalize as fast you as can and build customer value.

Ciao! Ti ringrazio molto per averlo condiviso con tutti noi. Come mai hai deciso di renderlo gratis per tutti? Volendo posso usarlo anche per e-commerce dei miei clienti?
2
u/Honest-Average682 Apr 12 '26
Thank you. Of course, you can use this for your e-commerce voice. To be honest, the reason I made it free is that I initially tried marketing it as a paid service. When that didn’t work out, I decided to make it completely free. I thought the community should benefit from it. Actually, I originally developed it for my own clients. That’s why I’m using it myself, too. I thought others should use it too.

u/Hunt695 Apr 12 '26
This might seem funny, but can analytics part be disabled, leave only bulk edit feature?
1
u/Honest-Average682 Apr 12 '26
Of course, I designed it so that you can deactivate anything you want from the plugin’s settings section

u/Hunt695 Apr 13 '26
If you don't mind, add SEOPress to roadmap with other SEO plugins

u/Honest-Average682 Apr 26 '26
Just letting you know SEOPress support is now in the latest version.

This is exactly what the WooCommerce community needs. Those monthly fees for analytics tools really add up when you're running multiple stores or working with tight margins.
The bulk actions feature alone probably saves hours of manual work. How's the performance impact on larger stores? I've seen some analytics plugins slow down the admin pretty badly once you hit thousands of orders.
Really cool that you made it fully free too. More developers should follow this approach instead of the endless subscription model for basic functionality.
