Avoid Freemius!
I dismissed this plugin as soon as I saw that it uses Freemius, as I know that if it became popular – it would immediately start charging for features. Additionally, it already has a significant amount of advertisement-related clutter.

Menu for Ads
First Plugin I've seen that adds Menus in the backend just to advertise. I'm impressed. Not many plugins are so bold to advertise like Windows8. Since that was an instant deal-breaker for me, i haven't really used it.
