The plugins are powerful, but bloated and some of the heaviest hitters (JetEngine, Listing Grid, etc) are designed without valid caching mechanisms, which means they're going to be slow, even on well spec'd servers. The price for a single site is fine, but not great. If you're a developer and can justify spending $400-750 a year, the price might be quite good. The support is responsive and friendly, and about as helpful as they're allowed to be—which is to say, often not very.The MAIN reason they're getting 2/5 stars is there is no workable mechanism for staging your site locally with the plugin. Let me explain: A local staging site will count as an activation, unless it conforms to an extremely narrow set of hostnames or IP addresses. They have a few very limited local hostnames you can use—one, in fact—and if yours differs at all you're only option will be to upgrade from 1 license to unlimited licenses for somewhere between 2 and 5 times the price.This is bad and eventually it's going to be big headache or a very expensive solution for you. So even if you don't really know what this means right now, eventually you will find out, and it might be after having spent many hours and hundreds if not thousands of dollars building something on their software platform. So for that reason, I would strongly recommend that you DO NOT invest your time and money building with Crocoblock until they implement a proper solution to this perfect valid and extremely common use case.
