| Cons | This build has no Pro features enabled; Paid add-ons and plans are sold on the vendor site; Opt-in usage tracking through the Freemius SDK | Additional gallery types and lightboxes are paid extensions; Extensions page loads its list from dfactory.co; Galleries are a custom post type, so they do not move cleanly to another gallery plugin |
