Pricing
The free plugin is a finished media community, not a trial. Unlimited sites, no key, nothing that expires. Pro is the layer you add once the library outgrows your disk, from $69 a year or $199 once.

What the upgrade buys
Media is the content type that outgrows hosting. A community that posts photos every day fills a disk in a way a blog never does, and that is usually the moment Pro starts paying for itself.
The licence gates updates, not features. Every Pro capability except document writes keeps running whether or not the licence is current.
Stated here rather than discovered afterwards.
No. It has no licence key, no expiry, and nothing that switches off after a period. Front-end uploads, albums, privacy levels per item, the gallery layouts, the moderation queue and the BuddyPress integration are all in the free plugin, on as many sites as you like.
No. Pro is for what happens after the community works: moving the library to cloud storage, capping what each member can upload, running photo competitions, the document drive, and the importers. If none of those describe your problem yet, stay on free.
Annual renews each year and keeps updates and support flowing. Lifetime is one payment for the same licence with no renewal. The site allowance is identical either way at every tier, so the choice is only about how you would rather pay.
The plugin keeps working and your data stays yours. You stop receiving updates and support until you renew. Nothing is held hostage and no member loses their media.
Yes. Pro ships an importer for each of those three. The free plugin can tidy up after an import but cannot run one, so a migration is the clearest reason to buy Pro before you need the storage.
Both tiers are downloads from wbcomdesigns.com. MediaVerse is not submitted to the WordPress plugin directory, so there is no listing and no support forum there. Support runs through the ticket system instead.
Yes, within 30 days, through the support ticket system. The refund clock pauses while a ticket is open, so trying support first does not cost you the window.
Nothing in the free plugin expires, so there is no deadline to decide.
