| Pros | Social login, share buttons and follower counters in one plugin; Features can be switched on or off from the dashboard; Free version covers basic login styles, sharing and counters | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Many share and counter options are Pro only; Counters depend on third-party APIs that can change or rate limit | 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 |
