The plugin is free. But the plugin uses CleanTalk cloud service to filter spambots. You have to register an account and then you will receive a free trial to test anti-spam for comments, registrations, bookings, contacts or orders. When the trial (on CleanTalk account) is finished, you can renew the subscription for 1 year or deactivate the anti-spam plugin.
Thank you for review.
We do not advertise the plugin as a free one. We say up front that this is a premium plugin and you have a free trial before switching to its premium version.
We have placed trial info several times in plugin Description and FAQ,
https://wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/
CleanTalk is a plugin with free code which works with the Cloud Anti-Spam Service: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service
We offer the most fastest, strongest, wide functionality anti-spam for any WordPress users for a very cheap price.
Best regards.

Your free plugin does not do what the plugin title says it does. It just offers a connection to your paid anti-spam service, and that should be stated in the title.
You are just taking advantage of a loophole in rules and using your worthless free trial to bait people.
People assume that all plugins in wordpress.org have a free version, even if it’s a very basic one.
I don’t have problem with paying for plugins, I have hundreds, I just don’t like how you are taking advantage of the WordPress Plugin Directory by listing a “free” plugin, that does not do what the title says.
Hello, @eastonweb
As it was mentioned before, we never advertise the plugin as a free one.
You can find info about it in plugin Description and FAQ:
