Forced to create an account at Agile, “Cloud” Contact Hosting

Everybody seems to want a piece of the action as there doesn’t seem to be a CRM plugin for WordPress that doesn’t require a third-party. Third parties have access to information that I don’t want them to have access to. This plugin is no different; everything is hosted in their “cloud”, which means I have zero control over how that data is stored, who sees that data, and I can’t export that data to other platforms.
When someone creates a CRM plugin that uses the WordPress schema for storage, then that someone will be a very rich person–assuming they offer a free-to-try and a premium, for purchase, plugin. This Agile plugin won’t even let me try it without creating an account with them. Nope!
