  • checkmark Often included free with your CMS, no extra cost or pay-as-you-go options
  • cludosearchexit Tightly coupled with the CMS; integration options may be limited or require custom development
  • cludosearchexit Limited analytics, offering fewer insights into user behavior and content performance
