Giuliomax Menu Builder vs UberMenu
UberMenu is a powerful, highly customizable mega-menu plugin sold on CodeCanyon — but it's a premium (paid) plugin: at the time of writing there is no free version on WordPress.org, and a license typically covers a single site. Giuliomax Menu Builder offers a comparable feature set for free, on unlimited sites.
Quick verdict
UberMenu is a capable plugin with deep customization, but you pay up front for a single-site license and there's no way to try it for free from the WordPress directory. Giuliomax Menu Builder covers the same everyday needs — mega menus, mobile menus, WooCommerce, search, sticky bars — at no cost and with no per-site limit, so it's an easy first stop before spending money.
