 * What is the difference between this plugin and just using shortcode? Performance?
   I thinking first that every additional plugin in wordpress is too much in regards
   of the overall performance.

 * Hi Trooper_D5X,
 * thanks for that justified question.
 * The answer is convenience. Not every user is comfortable using shortcodes, especially
   with the new block editor.
 * If you are comfortable placing shortcodes from Advanced Ads into the appropriate
   Page Builder block then just do that and skip using this plugin.
 * Best regards,
    Thomas
