Heavy upselling - can't try it
I wanted to try the Genealogical Tree plugin and added one family name. When I added another, I was immediately prompted to upgrade to Pro. It was disappointing to see that even basic functionality like adding two family names (parents) was locked behind a paywall. This approach makes it impossible to fully evaluate the plugin before being asked for money.

Super nice plugin
Love this plugin. It is very easy to set up and I love how it works. Tech support is quick to respond and very helpful. I got it because we are having a family reunion in June, and have not seen each other for about 30 years. I thought it would be nice to have pictures so that we would know who people are when we get together. It would have been nice if the front-end access addon was included with the premium plugin so that I don't have to do all the work, but for my particular situation, it isn't worth the extra money.

Paid for Upgrade, but not allowed access to Pro Version
I just went to pay for the the Pro version upgrade for $50 plus EU Vat. I am a EU Citizen and my purchase is being made within the EU. I completed payment details which were accepted by PayPal so It seemed to me that the contract was completed. But then, after I believed I had paid in full on the PayPal portal, I was returned to the vendor website. When I attempt to get access to the upgrade, I am blocked from access to final payment completion unless I tick a box to waive my consumer rights as an EU Citizen. It appears that I am only allowed to purchase the upgrade if I waive my EU Citizen rights. Hence the one star review for a company that will not deliver unless I waive my rights. The product looks ok and I am happy to buy it, but I have grave misgivings about working with a company that first requires me to surrender my consumer rights as a European Union citizen..
