# Nexter Blocks Data Table and Pricing Table: Building Comparison Tables Without Code

A comparison table or pricing grid is one of the highest-converting sections on a sales page, and also one of the most annoying to hand-code responsively. Nexter Blocks' Data Table and Pricing Table blocks are built specifically so neither problem requires touching CSS.

## Pricing Table: Built for Conversion, Not Just Layout

The Pricing Table block ships with pre-designed layouts (single column, multi-plan comparison) rather than a blank grid you style from scratch. It supports a highlighted "recommended" plan styling, a tooltip option for explaining a feature inline without cluttering the row, and a read-more/toggle option for long feature lists on mobile where a full table would otherwise force awkward horizontal scrolling.

## Data Table: For Comparison Content That Isn't Pricing

Where Pricing Table is purpose-built for plans and tiers, the Data Table block handles general tabular comparison content — feature matrices, spec sheets, side-by-side product comparisons — without forcing that content into the pricing-specific layout. Both blocks inherit your Nexter Global Styles brand colors and typography by default, so a table matches the rest of the site without manual color-matching.

## Building a Responsive Comparison Table

- Enable the Data Table or Pricing Table block under Nexter Blocks → Blocks.
- Choose a pre-made layout as a starting point, or build the column/row structure manually.
- For a Pricing Table with a long feature list, enable the read-more/toggle option rather than shipping a table that forces horizontal scroll on mobile.
- Apply a highlighted state to your recommended plan or featured comparison column, if the layout supports it.

## Conclusion

Pricing Table and Data Table solve two related but distinct problems — conversion-focused plan comparison versus general tabular content — and both remove the responsive-table CSS work that makes hand-coded comparison tables painful to maintain. Pick based on whether you're actually selling tiered plans or just presenting structured data side by side.

## FAQ

### Are these blocks responsive by default?

Yes, both are built to be responsive; the Pricing Table's read-more/toggle option specifically addresses long feature lists on small screens.

### Can I use Data Table for a pricing comparison instead of Pricing Table?

Technically yes, but Pricing Table's purpose-built conversion features (highlighted plan, tooltips) make it the better fit specifically for plan/tier comparisons.

### Do these blocks require Nexter Blocks Pro?

Check your current Nexter Blocks version for the exact free/Pro feature split; core table functionality is broadly available, with some advanced styling options tiered to Pro depending on release.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Which is better for a pricing comparison table: Data Table or Pricing Table?**
A: Pricing Table is the better fit when the content is about plans and tiers because it is built for conversion, not just layout. It ships with pre-designed single-column and multi-plan comparison layouts, plus a highlighted recommended plan style and tooltip support for inline explanations. Data Table is better when you are comparing general structured content like feature matrices or spec sheets, where the pricing-specific layout would be unnecessary.

**Q: Why does my comparison table look bad on mobile?**
A: Long comparison tables usually break down on small screens because horizontal scrolling makes them hard to read. Nexter Blocks handles that with responsive table behavior, and the Pricing Table block adds a read-more/toggle option for long feature lists so you do not have to force a full grid into mobile width. That matters most when the table has many rows or plan details that would otherwise get cramped.

**Q: Can I use Data Table for a pricing comparison instead of Pricing Table?**
A: Data Table can handle pricing comparisons technically, but it is not the best match if the goal is conversion. Pricing Table includes plan-focused features like highlighted recommended styling and tooltips, which are designed for tiered offers. Data Table makes more sense when the same side-by-side format is being used for non-pricing content such as product specs or feature comparisons.

**Q: Do Nexter Blocks tables inherit my site colors and fonts automatically?**
A: Both table blocks inherit Nexter Global Styles brand colors and typography by default, so they match the rest of the site without manual color-matching. That is useful if your table sits inside a page that already uses sitewide design tokens from [Nexter Theme Global Styles](https://nexterwp.com/blog/nexter-theme-global-styles/). The practical win is consistency: your comparison section does not end up looking like a pasted-in widget.

**Q: What is the best way to build a responsive comparison table in WordPress without code?**
A: Start with a pre-made layout if you want speed, then only build the row and column structure manually when the content needs something custom. For pricing tables with long feature lists, the read-more/toggle option is the key mobile safeguard because it avoids awkward horizontal scrolling. Nexter Blocks also lets you highlight a recommended plan or featured column when that visual cue matters.

**Q: Do these blocks require Nexter Blocks Pro?**
A: Core table functionality is broadly available, while some advanced styling options are tiered to Pro depending on release. That means the exact free versus Pro split can change, so version matters more than assumptions here. If you are planning around highlighted plans or other advanced presentation details, it is worth checking your current Nexter Blocks version before building around a specific option.
