I wanted to let you know that I too did not buy the paid version because you requested my email without telling me what the price is.
I've read this entire thread, and I am sorry to say this, because you are obviously a good person, but generally speaking, only dishonest vendors insist on getting your email before you can even see a price in your cart.
I don't think you can have any idea how many people don't complete their purchase of your app:
Many people don't like being forced to give up their email and/or login We don't shop at sites like Zulily, even if some items are cheaper than Walmart.
We avoid Amazon vendors who force us to cart an item to see a discount.
If we're reading an article and our login is demanded midway through we stop reading (and get the info from a site with fewer obstacles).
Mostly, you can blame Google and Facebook with unremitting tracking and demands for information -- we feel we have to draw a line somewhere.
You have created a great tool that is well worth $15 to $20 since Google has made Chrome so resource heavy it's not very usable without it.I am unemployed and on Medicaid and can't afford a paid Spotify or Cable but I would not have regretted this purchase..
I say this not to discourage but to encourage you to be transparent. When there is a paid version with upfront pricing that doesn't force sign-in I will complete my purchase.

Meanwhile, thanks for the free version.
