| Pros | Each extension can be switched on or off from one settings page; Responsive and hover styling for core blocks; No external calls or paid tier | Header and footer templates in the free edition; Widget builder and dynamic content types; Template library for layouts |
| Cons | Readme last tested with WordPress 6.4; Styles are stored in block attributes, so removing the plugin loses the design; Global JS setting lets admins inject scripts site-wide | Many widgets and features are shown as upgrade prompts; Needs Elementor to be active; Template library fetches remote layouts from the vendor |
