| Pros | Like, Share and profile buttons on posts and pages; Shortcode and automatic placement options; Works on archive pages too | Many modules in one plugin, each switched on separately; Brute-force protection and an image CDN without extra services; Contact form with Akismet spam checks and entries kept in admin |
| Cons | Statistics and page targeting need the Pro version; Relies on Facebook's embedded SDK and button markup; Few features beyond the buttons themselves | Needs a WordPress.com connection to work fully; Usage tracking runs once the site is connected, with no separate toggle found; Paid plans gate some features, such as multi-step forms |
