| Pros | Drag and drop editing with global styles and kit settings; Reusable components and nested layouts; Usage tracking is opt-in and off by default | Coming soon or maintenance mode with countdown and slideshow; Admin can still view the site while the page is up; Email sign-up form using WordPress mail |
| Cons | Forms, theme builder and popups need the Pro edition; Large plugin with many modules and admin screens; Some AI features prompt for upgrade or credits | Many features are only in the paid Pro version; Sign-up emails go through wp_mail, so mail delivery must work; Readme and screens promote Pro features heavily |
