Free version floods the WordPress admin with ads, upgrade pop-ups and upsell prompts.

What's going wrong
Owners of this analytics dashboard plugin report that the admin area became crowded with advertisements, repeated upgrade pop-ups and upsell banners after a change in ownership. Some say the ads appear on every screen and multiply while they work, which makes basic tasks frustrating. Owners of small non-profit and client sites say they cannot turn the prompts off and have disabled the plugin entirely. The experience turns a simple stats shortcut into a sales funnel. A lean stats widget with no promotional surfaces would serve these owners well.
