Trying to choose between Modula vs Envira Gallery to create a gallery on your WordPress site?
If you search for the best WordPress gallery plugins, these are two of the first names you’ll encounter. Both are popular and highly rated — Modula with a 4.7-star rating on over 340 reviews and Envira Gallery with a 4.8-star rating on over 1,370 reviews (both according to WordPress.org).
So — how can you choose the right gallery plugin for your needs?
Well, that’s the goal of this post. By going hands-on with both plugins and comparing them in a number of key areas, I aim to help you understand the key similarities and differences between these two plugins. Here are the six areas that I’ll compare them on:
- Features
- Interfaces
- Gallery layout options
- Gallery content sources
- Pricing
- Performance

Modula is a better option for casual users such as bloggers, while Envira Gallery is a better option for heavy-duty users such as photographers or users who want to go beyond just images and video in their galleries (such as creating a gallery of WooCommerce products).
