The plugin is free. The service is not. There’s nothing here that contravenes the WordPress.org plugin submission guidelines.
My analogy remains accurate.
People don’t come to the repository, install plugins, set them up only to reach the end and get a message that effectively says suck it up, you’ve spent all this time… now guess what… unless you sign up for a paid service all that time is burnt.

I left the review so others wouldn’t waste their time like i did.

Nevertheless, the plugin is free and, as such, has every reason to be part of the WPORG Plugin Repository. This is not a review of the plugin. It’s far more like a complaint because you were asked to pay for a hosted service. Since you appear to be quite dismissive of the WPORG plugin guidelines and simply expect everything to be free, I do not see the point of prolonging this discussion any further.
