| Editions | Age Gate | Safe SVG |
| Pros | Site-wide or per-post age restriction; Shortcode for gating a block of content; Integrations with WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi, Polylang and Yoast SEO | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | A click-through gate does not verify age; Crawlers are let past the gate in standard mode, so tests need a browser user agent | SVG optimiser is off by default and needs a code filter; Settings are limited to the upload role choice; Sanitising rules decide what markup survives, so check designs after upload |
