| 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 | Some options need the paid Pro version and a licence key; Demo import fetches settings from the vendor's demo site; Pro upgrade prompts appear in the settings screens |
