 * First, I love your plugin. I think the PRO version has some benefits as well 
   that may be worthy of purchasing. However, I think the free plugin violates the
   WordPress Plugin Guidelines.
 * Inside Elementor, I see all of the functionality for the PRO features but they
   are “locked” or restricted.
 * The plugin guidelines states in #5:
    5. Trialware is not permitted. Plugins may
   not contain functionality that is restricted or locked, only to be made available
   by payment or upgrade.
 * The plugin clearly contains functionality that is restricted unless you purchase
   the upgrade. Yes, you can hide it all with the hide pro features button but I
   wanted to bring this to your attention. Still a 5 star plugin.
