`benecaster_get_license_plan()`

Utilities Premium

benecaster_get_license_plan(): string

Returns which plan the site is on. Reads from a local cache rather than calling the licence server, so it is safe on every request — the value refreshes during the daily validation run.

Use benecaster_is_premium() when all you need is paid-or-not. Use this when the answer differs by plan, and compare against the slug rather than trying to rank the string yourself.

Return Value

Type: string

The current plan slug, or an empty string when no licence is active. One of free, starter, growth, pro, multi_show, studio. Note that an active free Launch plan returns free, not an empty string: an empty string means no licence, which is not the same thing.

Example

// Enable a feature only on Growth or higher.
$plan = benecaster_get_license_plan();

if ( in_array( $plan, [ 'growth', 'pro', 'multi_show', 'studio' ], true ) ) {
    // Register the growth-tier feature.
}
