I think rtucker means that he never found the free option on the website.
It’s there. The people who don’t finish reading the instructions on the website assume that the plugin is only good for 2 weeks and think they were lied to. It’s free as advertised. (see below)
This a quote from their site “How does the free trial work?
You can test run ManageWP for 14 days. After that period we will ask you to select a plan or you can continue to use the Free plan.”
All it says is that after 2 weeks they will ask if you want to pay, and if you don’t then they say thank you and leave you alone to use their product for free.
