Hi @texasbiz,
what is the problem with the free version? Does something not work?
I’m not sure how I should reply to this kind of comments.
Let’s ask some questions first:
Why do people not donate to developers of free plugins to honor their work?
Are you getting paid for your work you do for other people?
And what is wrong that plugin developers provide a free version for personal websites but also want some money for their work from professional websites where the owner does earn money with? Even the founder of WordPress (Matt Mullenweg) has free and paid versions of his plugins (e.g. Jetpack, Akismet)
This plugin was free for quite a long time (~till 350.000 download) and a total of 15€ where donated.
I spent really a lot of time (and still do) into this plugin and provide updates for new WordPress and browser versions, add new features and provide support for any answer that is asked.
The price for the pro version was set by CodeCanyon and there you get a lot of additional unique features.
So why it is a problem for you that someone offers parts of his work for free and is getting paid for his additional work?
Best, Michael
