The free version is very powerful for filtering Joomla articles. The pro version is a Must Have for pro Joomla websites and worth the money.

You'll need less than 5 mns to configure and use it.

There's one but JFilters is very easy to use and manage - even for Joomla newcomers - and works like a charm. You probably won't need it
