 "honest_knock": "It's a subscription, not a lifetime license — you keep your settings if you stop paying but lose updates and support, and a technically-minded user can get most of the way there with a free caching plugin. Two things to check before you buy on price. The Multi licence is capped now: 50, 100 or 500 websites, with a custom licence above that, so there is no unlimited tier to grow into. And the renewal rate is not published — the page confirms the licence auto-renews after a year but never states at what price, which is exactly where the Trustpilot complaints cluster.",

Read from Europe it sets EUR and shows Single €49.95/yr (1 website), Plus €99.95/yr (3 websites) and Multi €249.95/yr, and the 95 cents matter because an earlier reading rounded all three down to whole euros. Multi carries a site-count selector at 50, 100 or 500 websites, priced €249.95, €329.95 and €499.95 a year in the page's own markup, and anything above 500 is a custom licence. The dollar storefront reads $59, $119 and $299 a year for the same three tiers. Our own pricing screenshot on this page is that USD version, captured 12 August 2026, so the figures beside it are the euro ones from the same day. The two are not a contradiction but two storefronts of the same product. All tiers are feature-identical — you pay for the number of sites. There is no trial; the page offers a 14-day refund instead, and the licence auto-renews after a year, switchable off in your account's Billing section. What the page does not say anywhere is what it renews at. Read on 2 October 2026 the page also lists RocketCDN free for three key pages across 10 edge locations, and its FAQ says adding sites later costs only the difference.",
