| Pros | Unlimited galleries and images in the free version; Block, Elementor widget and shortcode placement; Instagram feed and image compression tools | Eight lightbox scripts to choose from, with per-script settings; Gallery builder with grid, slider and masonry layouts plus block and widgets; Media folders and remote image library built in; No usage tracking |
| Cons | Some gallery features need the paid Pro edition and a licence; Image compression needs a third-party API key; Instagram feed depends on Instagram's API access | Additional gallery types and lightboxes are paid extensions; Extensions page loads its list from dfactory.co; Galleries are a custom post type, so they do not move cleanly to another gallery plugin |
