Possible disadvantages

• Privacy Concerns
  Some users have expressed concerns about data collection and user tracking by AddThis, which could impact user privacy.
• Performance Impact
  The addition of AddThis scripts can potentially slow down website loading times, affecting the overall user experience.
• Ad Integration
  Free version may include AddThis branding or ads, which can be seen as intrusive by some users and site visitors.
• Limited Customization in Free Plan
  Customization options can be limited in the free plan, encouraging users to upgrade to paid plans for more advanced features.
• Dependence on Third-Party Service
  Relying on an external service means you're dependent on their uptime and service quality, which can be problematic during outages.
• Data Security
  As with any external service, there are potential risks related to data security and compliance with data protection regulations.

• “No code”
  Instead of API calls, an option to use our HTML template and some JavaScript spice.
• JSON
  Only two endpoints to choose from and connect: complete Iframely data or a simple oEmbed connector. Both have the html field for you to embed.
• Cards and URLs previews
  Engage your users with URL preview cards, just like they expect in a modern app. Change cards design easily in your settings.
• React and JavaScript
  React, and other JavaScript runtimes won’t let you run third-party scripts. Iframely fixes this by hosting media in an iFrame instead.
• Responsive embed codes
  Rich media will resize and fit your site’s design on any device, with a correct aspect ratio or a horizontal height.
