Sad entrapment to buy their plugin @ $89 per year

  • I’m sick of authors like this. They tout their plugins as free, but you can barefly change anything in the setting to meet the needs of your web app. They should just have some integrity and honesty and make them a paid app. To the authors: thanks for wasting 30 minutes of my life. I hope you get everything you deserve you soulless robbers.

    Hello stigzler (@stigzler),

    I think there is a misunderstanding. All plugins on www.ads-software.com repository are free. We do not have to tag it separately as free. Nowhere on our www.ads-software.com page the ‘free’ word appears as promotional pitch. Although, Premium features are clearly marked wherever applicable to help you in decision making.

    Many plugins do offer upgrade to Premium version with extra features and that’s how we support development of the free version. WordPress repository is kind enough to allow promotion of Premium upgrades inside the hosted plugins which is essential for sustenance of some plugin teams.

    RegistrationMagic free version is one of the most feature rich and powerful in its category. I can understand the free version may not offer you the exact feature you were looking, but it is difficult to make everyone happy. We have, in the past, moved features from paid to free version based on user feedback.

    Also for Premium version the price is not recurring. It will not setup a recurring subscription on your card. After purchasing you can keep using it as long as you like.

    Please understand that RegistrationMagic is in active development – both the Free and the Premium version will keep seeing new features and improvements. Two major releases are in testing which will make workflow many times easier. And we have more plans for its future.

    There are so many plugins in WordPress repository that we are sure you will find the one with feature you are looking for without paying – That is the choice you have. But to call someone as ‘soulless robbers’ because they do not fulfill your requirement seems very unfair and overly harsh.

    Thank you for your wonderful rhetoric. You clearly put a lot of work into that.

    As for your last point, of course you’re the victim in this scenario. I expected no more. Research a bit into DARVO – you may meet yourself there.

    To others: I did find a more honourable plugin and its called “User Registration.” Good, free features, solid coding and a more ethical business model around add-ons.
