Just a TRIAL Version

Contextly works really well. I especially love the Sidebars

However, they need to be clear that when you download from WordPress, you are only using a TRIAL version. They will force you to pay a monthly fee of $24 per month

I don’t mind paying for plugins — if right from the very start they are clear that what I downloaded is a TRIAL version and eventually I have to pay. Or right at the start, they say that this is a paid version and the free version only gives you this much

But there is absolutely nothing in Contextly description here on WordPress that this plugin is just a trial version and they will pull the plug on you if you don’t cough up to pay.

I also thought that the free version will still let you use the service albeit for a limited amount of pageviews. But the email I got from them says

” … we are scheduling a shutdown of Contextly services in 24 hours.”

So it’s either PAY or LOSE it.

I just do not like how they do business where they never mention it here on WordPress
