1. All the main functionality and some unique animation effects are available with the free version. If those seem “limited” that may only seem so in comparison with the pro version features. But the steady, positive install growth of slider hero proves that the free version features are more than adequate for the most people.
2. If you think having a certain feature could really improve the user experience – you should have asked for it in the comment section first and see what we do. We take customer feedback the most seriously and always implement them as best as possible.
3. We spent over a year developing the plugin and we are selling the pro version for a very reasonable price. Would you rather we just did not develop the plugin at all or go out of business giving everything away? Who would benefit from that? We are a small team of developers and driven by user feedback and support.
Thanks for your feedback anyway. We will continue improving both the free and pro version to the best of our abilities.
