I have worked with the UNA platform since 2018 and have mostly been quiet about the constant issues that plague this platform and delay development such as mod bugs and delayed version releases. The last nail in the coffin is the Pro Plan will be going up from $490/year to to $948/year which is a insane one year increase. That = 91.8367%. This makes a great Christmas present!

I started in the days with Microsoft Front Page was released and the one trend you can count is that online businesses always make it affordable until they get a few large customers and then they squeeze the little guy out. The little guy helps build the company by being a promotional statistics (number of installs/users) for marketing use and somewhere down the road are left in the dust. (I am just guessing, but the reason for development delays is they are too busy with custom programing for their corporate customers.)

Just a few samples are: Amazon, which now is pushing out longtime vendors that have great sales and sell their products under their name at a lower price, and put their search at the top. Another is Ancestry.com which was free until their members created a massive database for them and don't forget eBay where they priced out the very vendors that made them great; for corporate customers....I remember when the original top sellers left decades ago.

I am making plans to move our members to a different platform because of the current trends I see in UNA and want to get ahead of the curve. They make it easy to integrate a lot of social media features in one platform but are shifting to the corporate customer base.
