I wish you would have posted a suggestion to the Support Forum first — I thought the basic / free version was fairly complete (keeping the more advanced / custom features for the Pro version), but I’m always open to suggestions for new features, etc.
Anyway, thanks for you feedback.

Following your feedback, I listed the different Free and Pro version features in more detail (see http://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsso/). I can assure you that the Free version packs a ton of features, although — and this may be the unfortunate part — many of those features operate automatically and unseen by end-users.
For your information, here is the detailed list of features:
Free (GPL) Version
* Adds Open Graph / Rich Pin meta tags (Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest).
* Configurable image sizes, title and description lengths for different contexts (Facebook, Google, etc.).
* Optional fallback to a default image and video for index and search webpages.
* Validation of source image dimensions to provide accurate images for the social websites.
* Auto-generation of innacurate / missing WordPress image sizes.
* Support for embedded videos (iframe and/or object HTML tags).
* Fully render content (including shortcodes) for accurate description texts.
* Include author and publisher profile URLs for Facebook and Google Search.
* Include hashtags from Post / Page WordPress Tags.
