I can’t help commenting on this review.. $50 as a one time payment with “lifetime” updates and access to the premium support channel is nothing.
$50 is about 10 cups of coffee (depending on where you live), and for that cost you are getting an excellent product, built by a well established and respected development company. They provide the free version as a community project, but software isn’t free to develop and support.
For comparison, how much did you spend on the last pair of shoes you purchased, or in the last restaurant you went to?
I’m not having a go at the OP personally, I just find it strange how people seem to value things, and that there is some kind of expectation that everything should be free or cheap.
Consider the layer of security that is provided by having authenticated logins, and the time it saves site owners from dealing with spam and the associated higher quality of the content in general because bots are less likely to create fake accounts.
$50 for the premium version is nothing.. it’s a bargain.
