This software outfit, based in Belarus, is running a renewal scam on SEOs who buy their software. What they are doing is including a limited subscription update of search engine information in the purchase. However when the subscription runs out, the software is blocked by them, stops using search data altogether. The annual renewal fee is equivalent to the purchase price of the software itself. It is pretty good software but not worth that.
What makes this a ripoff is that the buyers are not informed of this. Not even in the fine print. Buyers are simply told that updating of SE info will no longer occur if they don't resubscribe. And their staff explicitly told purchasers who had questions about this that the software would continue functioning, as is normal practice in the software business. Now they just ignore SEO purchaser complaints about this deception in their forum and continue the scam.
Anyway, I don't like posting downers or product complaints on a webmaster/seo forum. But people in our biz do buy software and this warning could save you several hundred dollars.
