1.Security

SafeLine WAF Free only provides public threat IP database, while SafeLine Pro uses professional threat IP database which is more powerful and comprehensive. SafeLine Pro support to block threat IP based on business location, add supplementary rules in case of security emergency and dynamic protection. And the free edition doesn't provide these three security capabilities.

2.Statistical Analysis

The analysis capability is different too. SafeLine Pro provides more detailed analysis results and users can download attacks logs and access logs, while SafeLine Free only provide basic analyzing report.

3.System Management

4.Deployment Form

These differences make SafeLine WAF Pro more suitable for businesses or users requiring advanced security and support, while SafeLine WAF Free is ideal for individuals or small-scale applications needing basic protection.
