| Pros | Wide range of admin, login and admin bar tweaks in one screen; Settings can be exported and imported between sites; Can limit who sees the customisations by capability | Social login, share buttons and follower counters in one plugin; Features can be switched on or off from the dashboard; Free version covers basic login styles, sharing and counters |
| Cons | Many changes are cosmetic hiding rather than real access control; Settings screen carries Cusmin upgrade and donation prompts; Per-role configurations need the separate paid Cusmin plugin | Many share and counter options are Pro only; Counters depend on third-party APIs that can change or rate limit |
