Misleading Free Plugin with Hidden Costs

I recently came across a plugin provided by Cedcommerce that promises to connect OnBuy with WooCommerce. The catch? It’s advertised as a free plugin, but unfortunately, the reality is quite different.

Upon installation, I quickly realized that the plugin doesn’t work as expected without their “support.” To get the plugin functioning, you’re required to contact their team. Here’s where the catch becomes evident. The company’s team attempts to persuade you to purchase their support package, which comes with a price tag of $169 for just 6 months. Initially, they even tried to convince me to commit to a full year.

In my opinion, this practice is misleading. Offering a plugin as “free” while making it practically unusable without additional costs is not a fair approach. WordPress should step in to ensure transparency in these cases.

So, be cautious when considering this plugin. It’s essential to understand the hidden costs involved before diving in.
