| Editions | Disable Comments | Safe SVG |
| Pros | Site-wide, per post type or per post rules; Bulk delete with a preview and export before deleting; Blocks REST API and XML-RPC comment endpoints | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Deleting comments is permanent once confirmed; Optional usage tracking sends data to WPInsight once opted in | 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 |
