| Cons | Advanced features need separately licensed add-ons; Mail goes through wp_mail, so delivery depends on your SMTP setup; Premium add-ons use an external licence store | Only basic figures; no funnels, segments or real-time view; Relies on the REST API and WP-Cron working on the site; Chart library is bundled, so admin pages load more scripts |
