| Pros | Works with any WordPress menu and most themes; Trigger button with aria-expanded and labelled submenus; Live editor with style options and no code | Simple term and hover text list in the settings; Options for case sensitivity and one replacement per term per post; Can use the browser tooltip or the qTip2 style |
| Cons | Desktop and mega menus need the paid Pro edition; Free edition shows upgrade prompts for locked options; Theme catalogue is fetched from the vendor site at runtime | Last tested up to WordPress 5.9; Matching is by plain text, so terms in unusual markup may be missed; Hover text is not shown to touch-screen users |
