Louis,
After rereading your message I realize you were not talking about the recurring portion of the subscription, but that you felt like you were being forced to pay. Trust that this is not the case. For many years we have offered a free service with a limit of the number of snipes you have pending at one time. When you tried to add a sixth snipe it prompted for payment, but you could have deleted one of your snipes to avoid that. Please note that other services only allow three free for the entire month, so our service offering is at least 10 X of our competitors the way we have it set up now.
I hope this explanation helps you in some way.
