[Other] Question In New Elementor Optimizer

I am wondering if there is a comparison of features and benefits of Smush Pro and the Elementor Plugin – https://elementor.com/products/image-optimizer/?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=IO%20Release%20Pro%20&%20Hosting&utm_term=Original

I have a client who wants Smush deactivated in favour of this elementor plugin.

    I just told my client that it is a 30-day trial after which it would cost him another 200 USD a year, plus & plus. He gasped and went off to think about this; I think that’s enough to keep him on Smush, but I still would like to have some opinions.

    Hi Owen Kane ,

    Hope this message finds you well.

    Well, we don’t have such a comparison, still, I did take a look over the link you shared and Smush Pro does have almost all also Elementor do not have all Smush features:

    Elementor:

    Lossless or Lossy Compression
    Resize Larger Images
    Convert to WebP
    EXIF Metadata
    Optimize on Upload
    Image Thumbnails
    Bulk or Single Page Optimization
    Backup Original Images

    Smush Pro

    Lossless or Lossy Compression
    Resize Larger Images
    Convert to WebP
    EXIF Metadata (Smush Pro >> CDN will ignore it to avoid issues)
    Optimize on Upload
    Image Thumbnails
    Bulk or Single Page Optimization (Smush does not optimize the images by page, it does by images)
    Backup Original Images
    Lazyload
    CDN
    Automatic Resizing

    Among others. You can take a look over the Smush Pro doc here to fully check all its features.

    Let us know if you require additional information.

    Best regards,
