    Dear Taxopress, why do you get the right to place a persistent ad spam at the top of my WP dashboard without an option to close it or make it go away?

    “You’re using TaxoPress Free. The Pro version has more features and support. [Upgrade to Pro]”

    With a bright blue background and ZERO options to make it go away?

    @anotheropus I presume your review was accidentally unclear, but I need to make clear to anyone else reading this but we do NOT place an ad at the top of the WP dashboard. It’s only on the TaxoPress screens.

    Yes, I hear your point about the banner. We’ll look into making it dismissable.

    Please consider our point of view here. This is a freemium product and by definition that means there will be some ads. We keep very few features back for the Pro version and removing ads is one of the benefits.

    Would it be better if we moved actual features behind the paywall? That path has problems too. The last negative review we had for TaxoPress was complaining that one of the very few Pro features was behind a paywall. And now we have negative review for having an ad!
