Pricing
Their pricing is very competitive with a flat monthly fee and no transaction fees. Although the customer will see additional fees on checkout depending on their payment system.
The positive
I love the ease of use of the product and the no transaction fees. It keeps the cost low. Their customer support is great too.
The negative
Their website feels outdated. I'm not sure how many updates the app is still getting. Although, not making changes means less errors, bugs and security vulnerabilities so it might not be a bad thing.
