| Editions | Jetpack · Jetpack paid plans ($) | Login With Ajax · LWA Pro ($) |
| Pros | 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 | Login, registration and reset forms without page reloads; Passkeys and two-factor login included in the free version; Placement as widget, block, shortcode or pop-up; Compatibility code for WooCommerce, BuddyPress and WPML |
| Cons | 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 | SMS and WhatsApp two-factor login need the paid Pro add-on; reCAPTCHA is advertised as Pro and is not in the free code; Admin screens show Pro upsell panels |
