Please consider switching to EDD instead of Freemius

    Hi guys,

    I’ve stopped using the plugin since you’ve switched to Freemius. The amount of bloat their SDK adds as well as all the calls to their api really doesn’t gel with a plugin that’s supposed to be lightweight and utilitarian. Having a Pro version is awesome but please consider using EDD for licensing- it’s much better for your users.

    Cheers

    PS. I see I’m not the only one to raise this issue. Please see the forums if you’d like to see more feedback from the WP community about Freemius: https://www.ads-software.com/search/freemius/?forums=1

    @menathor – thanks for the feedback.

    I think we’re in a grey area here between free and paid on this forum, but since you asked I think a short reply is warranted; I’d be happy to have a longer discussion on the new support forum (https://forums.invis.net/c/wp-fail2ban/).

    I looked at lots of options before picking Freemius, including EDD.

    I don’t like the weight of the Freemius library either, but it has two huge advantages over EDD; in ascending order of magnitude:

    1. Freemius requires no extra infrastructure and no up-front costs,
    2. Freemius deals with all of the EU VAT mess.

    It was the 2nd point that decided it.

    Again, happy to carry on with this on the new forums, otherwise I think that covers everything on the “free” side here.
