That is, of course, the dillemma. They do carry some advertising, and my
whole point is that they guarrantee that their free service actually
works, and they don't offer any demonstrations of their paid services so
you never know what you are getting. Pay for something, sight unseen?
Exqueeze me? The paid service is supposed to offer more features, but
they aren't specified. As Amara says, it seems like a bait and switch
scheme, only they are selling the same goods they claim to offer for
free.
