> **Verified Reviewer** | *15 February 2023* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best feature of WPScan is that is free and aimed at non-commercial use. It has a nice user-interface and is easy to use. It can show you the plugins used and whether they are secured or not and list any weak password.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't been using WPScan for a long time to find anything to dislike. Hopefully they will add more features with the next updates.
