 * This appears to be a straight forward plugin. But it’s real usability is limited
   intentionally to force the up-sale. These developers are more interested in making
   the sale to PRO personal/professional version at an outrageous price, $49.00 /
   year is insane. This plugin is pretty useless/ very basic without the upgrades.
   So much for the open source community.

 * Hey Daiv,
 * The free version of the plugin offers a variety of features that should be enough
   for a new or growing business. The plugin is under constant development and we
   do our best to keep it secure, up to date and always follow the latest coding
   standards. There’s an entire team working on the plugin and offering support 
   to customers (for both free and premium users), and i think it’s more than fair
   that some premium features come at a price. Especially if you are a business 
   that’s using the plugin to make money.
 * As for the price, we try to keep it as low as we can, it’s probably lower than
   most of our competitors prices. On top of that, we also offer a 20% discount 
   to our customers coming from the free version of the plugin.

 * I agree Daiv,
    The free version is useless and make sure you understand that 
   you are only renting the paid versions, not buying them
