The biggest difference
What happens on a cached page.
Most WooCommerce stores use a page cache. Here is how each plugin makes sure a shopper sees their own currency.
CURCY
- 1The cached page loads with the price it was cached with.
- 2With its cache option on, a second request asks the server for the right price.
- 3The price is swapped in. CURCY's docs mention a short delay and offer a loading mask to cover it.
WC Currency Switch
- 1The plugin sets up your cache plugin for you, keyed to the shopper's currency.
- 2The page arrives with the right price already in it. No second request, no swap.
- 3When rates move past your limit, cached pages are cleared automatically.
Pricing

Can I run CURCY and WC Currency Switch at the same time?
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 CURCY when you go live.
Will my past orders change?
No. WooCommerce saves the currency on each order, so orders placed with CURCY 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.
Ready to switch?
Every feature on every plan, from $49.99 a year for 5 sites.
