What is the difference between plastic and metal gutter hangers?

Plastic gutter hangers are typically less expensive than metal hangers and are easier to install. However, they may not be as durable as metal hangers and may not be able to support as much weight. Metal gutter hangers, particularly those made of aluminum or steel,on the other hand, are more durable and can support more weight and harsh weather conditions, but they may be more difficult to install.
