| Editions | Jetpack · Jetpack paid plans ($) | WP Login Form · Force Redirect ($) · Custom Error ($) |
| 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 | Free shortcode for a login form anywhere on the front end; Optional redirect after login set per shortcode; Google reCAPTCHA v3 option for the login form; Settings page covers the form options in one place |
| 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 | Form only, with no registration or password reset pages; reCAPTCHA v3 loads Google's script on pages with the form; Extra behaviour such as forced redirects needs the separate add-ons |
