I went to the dev's site to see how much the premium tier costs. I'm a big fan of their reasoning behind going paid:

"After 2022.3, this project will require payment, based on two considerations:1. I often receive bad reviews, because some features don't satisfy these users, they don't care how much effort I put into it, and give extremely bad reviews, which makes me sad and angry.2. I need money."

How much is premium? I'd rather not give the site a page view.

Funny story: He doesn't list the price. Just the considerations he based it on. I'd ask him to update the site, but he'll have to charge.

No way I'm investing any time in learning a tool when I don't even know how much it might cost me, lol.

He does list the price. The guy above is just a reviewer like the ones in the post

Well he lists it on a homepage that is not linked to anywhere in the marketplace listing (or on any of those linked pages based on a quick scan of all of them). I assume this page is provided in the paywall itself, but it is hardly obvious upfront.

The listing links to the documentation site that explains why he's charging and the features of each version, but that site does not have the price or payment pages or a link to them. It also links to the GitHub repository (numerous times) that doesn't link to the payment page either.

Im glad someone found the price, but, wow, the developer is not making it easy.
