Pre-sales question: automatic updates and setup

Hi!

I am looking for a plugin like this, and I have tested your free version. A couple of questions:

1) Am I right in assuming that I need the premium version if I want the feed to update automatically e.g. every night?

2) If yes, is the licence fee 1 single payment or recurring – and are lifetime updates and support included?

3) I am importing job offers (vacancies). I used the “custom post types” plugin to create a special post type for them and put them in a grid, looks great. But I need each post title (= job title) to link to an EXTERNAL page for the detail information (i.e. the corresponding job description and information on how to apply) FROM THE GRID page. The URLs are provided as part of the feed. When I tested it, I might have put some setting wrong, because I got the titles linked to “internal” pages with the details instead. So just to be safe before I buy (if needed): is it possible to just import [title, image, excerpt] and then have it all be linked to the [external URL] in a new tab?

Thanks!
