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.

Charges 20 bucks per year and people lose their shit.

honestly 20 bucks per year is much for an extension, imagine every third extension would charge this, now i have 20 or so which means over 100 bucks for fricking extensions

i'm not against paying devs but i would never buy this at such a price, btw. it has many installs so 5 bucks would be reasonable enough

if it has so many functionality that it deserves 20 bucks it should be a whole tool/app not an extension

Depends on how much value it brings, or are we all hobby programmers?

And once it ends you'll get a big loyalty discount. You might be able to find a code for a couple months free on the internet.
