| Editions | Database Manager - WP Adminer | WPS Hide Login |
| Pros | Full Adminer database tool inside the dashboard; Access limited by WordPress capability; Link in the admin bar and the plugins screen | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Direct database access, so a risk if an admin account is weak; Installs a must-use plugin to load early; Writes an adminer.key file to the temp directory | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
