Dear @ms416
Sorry for the inconvenience. All our efforts over the years have been to be able to satisfy all our users.
It has been more than a year since we introduced the pro version after years of developing the free version. At the time of launch, we did not reduce any features of the free version, and during this year we added many more features to it, and we believe that the free version has the capabilities of a full premium plugin.
But the PRO version was actually an idea to produce a comprehensive product that provides users with different capabilities. So you have no restrictions and you can use unlimited features of the free version. (Including votings system for all content types, stats panel, log pages, customizer options and etc.)
Also, if the banners on the settings page were annoying, you can disable them using the Hide Admin Notices option.

We have also included many sample codes at the following address so that developers can customize the features of the free version without any restrictions.
