We have a pretty strict rule within the company on everything that we think every side on the planet needs to do the basic works, we put into our free plugin.
And then stuff that saves you time, we put into the premium plugin.
So that is basically how we go by choosing what goes in where it's not necessarily optimizing for making more money, even though we're doing pretty well in that regard.
