 * So, yes, this plugin does many functions that otherwise could be done by different
   plugins, bravo! Nothing here is that complicated or worth paying for, you can
   easily find plugins that do what this one does and they are all FREE.
 * Annoying fact #1:
    The plugin automatically installs a banner on your website
   that users also see, this is the access to customize the plugin features. This
   doesn’t only make for a very poor user experience, but it’s simply retarded.
 * Fact #1 should be enough, but there is more.
 * Annoying fact #2:
    The features offered on the free version are limited to very
   basic ones, you can’t even customize the email signup form with custom code, 
   for example. So it’s one of those things where they are constantly telling you
   to buy premium features. Not cool.
 * In summary, I wasted my time and hated this from beginning to end. I couldn’t
   uninstall it fast enough. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Even if you are not a very
   advanced user and this seems to make it easier for you, it’s simply not a good
   service for your readers if there are banners on your site that you have no control
   over and it’s simply not that impressive.

 * Hey Minahark,
 * Thanks for your honest feedback.
 * SumoMe is 100% Free. SumoMe as it was for a very long time, still remains to 
   be Free. We have recently added paid upgrades, tools and features.
 * We definitely do not install a banner, If you are referring to the login badge,
   we do install a login badge to allow customers to access their SumoMe Panel. 
   In its Free state you can move it to any of the 4 corners if you find the top
   right corner distracting. SumoMe runs with its banner visible on very high traffic
   websites without issue 🙂
 * You can definitely customize the email signup in Free. We offer an Advanced Custom
   Form and you can also add your own HTML to the default template. SumoMe ran in
   this state for a long time without issue 🙂 The base features of SumoMe are 100%
   FREE and offer incredible value.
 * Again, definitely appreciate your feedback, and I’m sorry SumoMe didn’t work 
   out for you. I do hope you’ll give us a shot again in the future. I would say
   the thousands of websites that are using SumoMe with impressive conversions will
   definitely support that it is impressive and does a great job 🙂
 * If you ever want to give us a chance again. I’d be more than happy to help you
   out in any way I can. You can email me at [help@sumome.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-47/help@sumome.com?output_format=md).
 * Have a great week!

 * I have to agree with **minahark**
 * I could do no more than create a very basic form using the free facilities. The
   minute I wanted to do something as basic as add a name field to the the form,
   I was prompted to buy the upgrade. The same was true of all but the basic form
   templates.
 * I will be looking elsewhere to meet my form requirements.

 * Here is a way to hide that SumoMe badge.
