- It displays reviews gathered elsewhere; it does not send review requests to customers.
- Paid prices are per widget, so a site with several widgets pays more than the single-widget list price.
- The pricing page does not spell out each tier's features; premium skins and higher view limits are the stated upgrade reasons.
- Prices exclude VAT, which is added by country.
