Welcome to the Q&A Forum

While I understand what you are saying, I would say that we have other SAS apps as well. We have some we pay more for and some we pay less. (And we are on the Pro Plus here). I would say give it a chance and see what the vale us for you.  I have employees who go online on this account all of the time to do the work. A couple have non paid accounts as well. They are not allowed to give me a thumbs up and I fire them if they are caught thumbing me down... just kidding. Between the great resources on here, the whiteboard Friday, great youmoz users blog, SEOmoz blog, Q and A that is rocking with quality SEO types, etc. I have learned a ton in a year and a half. Forget about the tools available and the fact there is a concerted effort to keep them updated, the other things are more than worth the fees. Give it a try for a couple of months, if after that it is not worth it, try another. Best
