Is there a free or nulled version of the WordPress Directory Theme?

Are there any hidden costs to run a business directory website?
No — there are no hidden costs or forced premium plugins, and the directory theme works with free plugins such as Elementor, so everything you need to run a business directory website is included. The only optional extra is extended updates and support after the first 6 months, at $49 per 6 months if you want it.
