WordPress Premium provides much better features, customization options and quality support. To fully customize a site’s functions, appearance, and performance, you will need a set of plugins.

Although WordPress is free, a web hosting plan and a domain name is required which are available through BlackSun. You can typically find themes and plugins for free. However, many themes do not offer extra features like creating buttons, using shortcodes and create landing pages, among others. While WordPress Premium provides much better features, customization options and quality support. Many WordPress users that do not have WordPress Premium end up paying for additional services.
