What Reddit says

Kadence Blocks Pro

Reddit users are worried about Kadence since Liquid Web acquired it, citing a Liquid Web panel added in theme v1.5.0 that cannot be removed and uncertainty about the free versions. Many are looking for alternatives, though some still recall Kadence as one of the strongest free offerings.

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.
