What's the Difference Between an Add-on and a Plug-in

If software was fruit, the add-on could be an apple while plug-in might be a granny smith or a red delicious. Add-on is a general term and can be an extension, a plug-in, themes, and sometimes perhipherals are referred to as add-ons.

A plug-in is a small program that enhances a bigger program sometimes referred to as the host program. In my work, we use Mozilla Firefox which has many plug-ins including Flash which allows you to see flash movies within the Firefox browser.

Happy Friday!
