WoW addon managers compared

CurseForge, WowUp and Wago install addons. They do not see the same catalogs. Pick the one that hosts your author.

Managers

The CurseForge versus WowUp page is the decision most people want. Warperia is a private-server library with a desktop app. I do not have its Forever or pricing story from the vendor, so it stays a row. The Icy Veins app installs Class Codex. It is not a general manager.

Questions

Which manager is required?

None. A zip still works. See install without CurseForge.
