| Editions | AGCA - Custom Dashboard & Login Page · Cusmin ($) | WPS Hide Login |
| 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 | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| 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 | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
