Free version has very few options and is not mobile friendly
Free version of this plugin has barely any customizing options and is not optimized for mobiles. Out of all the templates, only one gives option to ask for subscriber's name. The upside of few options is that it's very simple to use and set up.

Amazing Product at Excellent Price
Purchased the pro version of this plugin about a week ago. I was finding very few people were signing up using the standard little opt in boxes on posts and front page. Since installing and customising this with the pro version, I've doubled my (small) email list! Can't wait to see how this continues to grow. Support has also been fantastic and very quick. Easy to install, use and incredibly effective. I would love an extra field button though to capture first name to match my Mailchimp list - maybe in a future update! :)
