Included free

Review matches before anything is removed, with clear keep vs remove labels.
Match by post title; choose whether to keep the oldest or newest post.
Move duplicates to the WordPress trash by default (recoverable).
Protect specific post IDs so they are never deleted.
See date and author on each post in a duplicate pair.
Run cleanup manually, or schedule scans that only report what would be removed—or delete on a schedule when you are ready.

Pro unlocks

Find duplicates by identical post content, excerpt, or any custom field—not only titles.
Include drafts, scheduled, private, and other post statuses in the scan.
Delete permanently when trash is not enough.
