In their own words
ElectricBlaze
ElectricBlaze provides embeddable widgets for social feeds, multi-messenger chat, music playback, and simple orders. Users configure widgets in a browser editor and paste an HTML snippet into a compatible site. Feed options include Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Twitch, Facebook, Pinterest, and Vimeo. Popup Chat connects WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Signal, and Discord. Music Player supports Spotify and SoundCloud playlists. Widgets work on sites accepting custom HTML, with Help Center instructions for 16 site builders and plain HTML. Mobirise users can add the widgets as drag-and-drop extension blocks. Both web plans allow five widgets on unlimited websites. Free includes 1,000 monthly views, 24-hour refreshes, and an ElectricBlaze credit link. Start costs $5 a year, with unlimited views, hourly refreshes, and no branding. A view is counted when a page opens and its widget loads, so multiple widgets count separately.
Smash Balloon Instagram Feed
Smash Balloon Instagram Feed is a WordPress plugin for placing customizable Instagram content on websites. It supports user-profile, hashtag, tagged-post, Stories, and Reels feeds, with grid, carousel, masonry, and highlight layouts. A visual customizer provides live previews and appearance controls without requiring design or technical knowledge. Moderation tools let site owners choose which posts appear, and shoppable feeds can connect individual posts to custom URLs. The plugin caches content, resizes images, and retrieves new posts in the background to reduce page-load impact. With GDPR mode enabled, posts and images load locally and third-party browser requests wait for visitor consent. Listed consent integrations include Cookie Notice, CookieYes, Complianz, Cookiebot, and Borlabs Cookie. The free version has limited features. Paid plans start at $49 a year for one website; higher plans cover additional sites or include analytics, priority support, and other Pro plugins.
