| 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 | Share buttons for around 100 networks with a shortcode and widgets; Standard, floating and follow icon placements; Export and import of settings |
| 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 | Premium button styles and analytics are paid upsells; Share counts and short links call outside services; Bitly short links need the site owner's own access token |
