| 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 | Creates temporary logins with any WordPress role; Links expire automatically and can be disabled early; Lets the user land on a chosen page after login |
| Cons | Deleting comments is permanent once confirmed; Optional usage tracking sends data to WPInsight once opted in | Login limits and some redirect options need the Pro version; Anyone holding an unexpired link can sign in, so links must be shared carefully; Adds custom database tables for its activity data |
