| 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 | Lightweight blank canvas that leaves design to Elementor; Elementor header and footer template support; WooCommerce support included |
| 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 | Few built-in design options outside Elementor; Admin and customizer promote the paid Elementor Pro add-on |
