| 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 | Drag-and-drop grid builder for custom layouts; Responsive galleries with a lightbox viewer at no cost; Works with Elementor and common page builders |
| 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 | Video galleries, filters and proofing need Modula Pro; AI optimisation runs on a remote service with usage limits; Sends opt-in usage data to the vendor once consent is given |
