Free where it should be free.

The free version genuinely solves the problem — it is the whole async engine, not a teaser. Pro is for the sites where background work is operationally serious: stores, agencies, networks.

The licence covers updates and support. If it lapses, the plugin keeps working. No features are held hostage to a renewal.

Launch pricing — final tiers (single site, agency, unlimited) are published when the plugin ships. Purchases are handled by a merchant of record; you get a proper VAT invoice.

Honest sizing note: if all your scheduled tasks are fast and your host crontab is already configured, the free version is all you need — and the benchmarks page will show that case openly.
