The biggest difference
Clean URLs and a cache that just works.
How each plugin keeps the right currency on cached pages, and what that means for your URLs.
FOX Currency Switcher
- 1By default the currency is added to the URL, like ?currency=EUR.
- 2A cache plugin mode is available, which redraws prices with extra requests after the page loads.
- 3Currency can be stored in sessions, transients, Redis or the browser.
WC Currency Switch
- 1The currency lives in a cookie, so every currency shares the same clean URLs.
- 2Your cache plugin is set up for you, so the right price is in the page from the start.
- 3Cached pages are cleared when rates move past your limit.
Pricing
What it costs.
FOX is priced per site with yearly renewals. WC Currency Switch starts at 5 sites, and the Lifetime plan covers 1,000 sites with one payment.

We don't recommend it. Two currency plugins will both try to convert prices. Set up WC Currency Switch on a staging copy, then deactivate FOX Currency Switcher when you go live.
Will my past orders change?
No. WooCommerce saves the currency on each order, so orders placed with FOX Currency Switcher keep their currency and totals.
Is there a free version of WC Currency Switch?
No. Instead, every plan includes every feature, and you can try the live demo on our homepage before you buy.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If WC Currency Switch isn't right for your store, ask within 14 days for a full refund.
