A real pros and cons box
These are the actual published outputs of the widget for a sample product review: the default lists, green and red markers with a verdict, a stacked version with custom icons, and a box with only benefits.
02 / Inside WordPress
Pros and cons summary controls in Elementor
Content › Benefits and Tradeoffs each have a heading, a repeater of items and an optional custom marker icon. Verdict holds a label and your conclusion. Display sets the heading level, hides headings visually, turns markers on or off and sets 1 or 2 columns per device. The Style tab covers gaps, group padding, verdict spacing, marker size and gap, heading, item and verdict typography and colours, a shared marker colour with optional benefits and tradeoffs colours, alignment, and group background, border and radius.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use pros cons summary
Reviews and buying guides usually end with a pros and cons box, but building one in Elementor takes several containers, headings and icon lists that must be kept in step. Pros and cons summary puts both lists and a verdict in one widget, labels each list for screen readers, stacks them on phones and hides any list you leave empty.
Buying guides
Give each recommended product its own pros and cons box.
Service comparisons
List what a plan does well and what to watch out for.

Pros cons summary and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.
Elementor containers with Icon Lists
Two containers, two headings and two Icon Lists can look the same, but take around ten steps and leave the headings unconnected to their lists. This widget is one element with labelled groups.
Review plugins
Dedicated review plugins add scores and schema. This widget is a simple, honest summary box without ratings.
07 / Requirements and compatibility
Pros cons summary compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor.
- Two lists and one verdict per widget; no scores or schema.

Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot pros cons summary
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is one list missing?
Lists without items are not shown. Add at least one item to show the list.
Why are both lists in one column on my tablet?
The default switches to two columns at 768px wide. Set Columns per device in Display to choose.
Why are both markers the same colour?
Set Benefits marker colour and Tradeoffs marker colour in the Text style section.
Which heading level should I use?
Use the level just below the heading above the widget, so the page outline has no gaps.
Pros cons summary plugin questions
Does it add star ratings or review schema?
No. It shows your lists and verdict only; nothing is scored or marked up as a review.
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Is it accessible?
Yes. Each list is a named group with a real list, and markers are hidden from screen readers so the headings carry the meaning.
Can I rename Benefits and Tradeoffs?
Yes. Each heading is editable, for example 'What we liked' and 'What to know'.
Does it use JavaScript?
No. It is static HTML and CSS.
