What Reddit says

GenerateBlocks Pro

Reddit users find GenerateBlocks hard to learn, mainly because of nested containers and a cramped back-end editing space. Pro-specific posts are mostly questions about whether the editor keeps working without renewal and how content template display order works.

Spectra Pro

Reddit users mostly discuss Spectra as a Gutenberg block plugin and compare it with Kadence, Greenshift, GenerateBlocks, Bricks and Blocksy setups. Recurring problems include starter template blocks that cannot be edited, limits on post types in the free version, and ACF fields not connecting to its Loops builder.
