Possible disadvantages

• Cost
  Embedly offers a freemium model, but the free tier has limitations, and the premium plans can be expensive for small businesses or individual developers.
• Dependency
  Relying on a third-party service means developers are dependent on Embedly for uptime and performance, which could be a potential risk if the service experiences issues.
• Privacy Concerns
  Using Embedly means sharing data with a third-party service, which could raise privacy concerns depending on the type of content being embedded.
• Limitations in Custom Sources
  While Embedly supports many major providers, it may not support lesser-known or niche content sources, which could be a drawback for certain use cases.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Support for Certain Image Types
  IQDB is primarily focused on anime, manga, and game-related imagery, which may not be useful for other types of images.
• Outdated Interface
  The user interface design appears outdated compared to modern standards, which might impact user experience.
• Variable Results Quality
  The quality of search results can vary, sometimes not providing the most accurate matches depending on the complexity of the image.
