## FAQ[¶](#faq "Permanent link")

### What are Capacitor plugins?[¶](#what-are-capacitor-plugins "Permanent link")

Capacitor plugins are packages that expose native Android, iOS, and Web functionality through a unified JavaScript API. They let you call platform features — such as the camera, biometrics, or Bluetooth — from the same codebase, without writing native code yourself. To learn more about the underlying framework, see the [official Capacitor documentation](https://capacitorjs.com/docs).

### Are these Capacitor plugins free?[¶](#are-these-capacitor-plugins-free "Permanent link")

Most plugins are open source and free to use, while a few are offered as paid plugins through [Capawesome Insiders](/docs/insiders/). Licensing and pricing are documented on each plugin's page.

### What's the difference between the `@capawesome` and `@capawesome-team` packages?[¶](#whats-the-difference-between-the-capawesome-and-capawesome-team-packages "Permanent link")

The npm scope tells you how a plugin is distributed:

* **`@capawesome`** — free plugins published to the public npm registry. Install them directly with npm.
* **`@capawesome-team`** — plugins that are paid or used to be paid. Currently paid plugins are available only through the private Capawesome npm registry and require an Insiders license. Plugins that were paid in the past but are now free are published to both the public npm registry and the Capawesome npm registry, so you can install them from either one.

The [Insiders Getting Started](/docs/insiders/getting-started/) guide explains how to configure the Capawesome npm registry.

### Which platforms do the plugins support?[¶](#which-platforms-do-the-plugins-support "Permanent link")

Most plugins support Android and iOS, and many also support the Web. The supported platforms are listed at the top of each plugin's documentation page.

### How do I get support?[¶](#how-do-i-get-support "Permanent link")

For bugs and feature requests, open an issue on the plugin's GitHub repository. For dedicated help, see our [support options](/docs/support/).
