| Editions | Disable Comments | WPS Hide Login |
| 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 | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Deleting comments is permanent once confirmed; Optional usage tracking sends data to WPInsight once opted in | 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 |
