Hello @Zulu
As far as I'm aware, I don't think there's an equivalent to this plugin. It is the only implementation in this idea. If you ever find something similar, I'd love for you to share it with me. It would be useful and interesting for me to look into it.
I noticed a while ago that if this plugin is combined with an elementor, you can't make a "condition" if the field is empty not show its button on the public site. This of course annoyed me a bit, but despite this flaw I resorted to editing the template files and created a condition in them that there is nothing to show. It turned out great. The good thing is that ACF have a well developed help section with lots of examples and ready written php codes. Best regards

Thanks for the reply. I've actually been trying to understand what the recommended way of editing template files is for Wordpress. Is it simply to make a child theme and go from there? For now, a combination of elementor and hooks has been adeqecuate, but I can tell that won't be enough once I have more advanced requirements.
I'll write you an idea that I haven't tested yet, but I guess 99,9% it will work!
Install other plugins: Insert PHP Code Snippet in this plugin you can put php code:
PHP:
<?php
$variable = get_field('field_name');
?>
Then, the php code snippet will create a shrtcut that you can use anywhere in elementor Sounds ideal in theory, but I haven't tested it.
For more examples please see here
Best regards.

* Fix - 'Create Terms' button for taxonomy fields now displays correctly
* Fix - ACF JSON field group files which have unsupported keys (not beginning with `group_`) will now load as field groups
* Fix - Renaming capabilities for post types will now set `map_meta_cap` to `true` solving an issue with assigning permissions to roles for that post type

@lorenbac Since I see you have some "badges" I want to ask you something, maybe you will know
How can I update the 1st post when there are new versions of this plugin?
Since there is no "edit" menu, I have to post new "replies" in this thread with a new file ?
