| Pros | Donation forms and campaigns in the free core; Stripe and PayPal payment gateways included; Donor records, receipts and a donor export | 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 | Recurring donations need a paid add-on; Many advanced features are split into separate paid add-ons; Large plugin with many admin screens to learn | 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 |
