Topic: Lightroom plugin vs juicebox builder

Hello, I'm just starting to learn about juicebox. I see there is a juicebox builder for the software. I then see that there is a plug in for Adobe lightroom. My question is, do both do the same thing? Does that included juicebox builder have the same functionality as the Adobe lightroom plugin?  Thank you.

Re: Lightroom plugin vs juicebox builder

JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and the Juicebox-Pro Lightroom plugin are similar in that they both have individual controls for all Pro configuration options and they both have a live preview window which displays the gallery as the options are being changed.
However, JuiceboxBuilder-Pro has some additional features that are not found in any plugin.
JuiceboxBuilder-Pro has the ability to open and edit an existing gallery (whether it was created with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro or the Lightroom plugin).
Also, JuiceboxBuilder-Pro has Multi-Size Image Support. (The Lightroom plugin is unable to export multiple different sizes of images at once so does not feature this functionality.)
It is also easier to input custom image titles and captions using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (on the 'Images' tab) but the Lightroom plugin allows the extraction of more EXIF and IPTC metadata fields (for use as titles and captions) than JuiceboxBuilder-Pro does.
There may be a few other subtle differences but these are the main points.
