Useless Crippleware

The “Local” option marks images that work as not working, because it uses WayBack machine, so updates are not taken into account. The “Cloud” option can only be used if you sign up for the paid service. The description is a lie, because while signing up is free, the cloud service is paid for a year upfront!

Hi @bakerd
I hope you are doing well today.
Our Local engine does not use Wayback Machine or any other 3rd party solution. The way Local engine works is that it runs on your server, scanning for internal and external links.
When it comes to the Cloud version, it is not a paid service. Please refer to our documentation:
https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/broken-link-checker/The cloud version requires a connection to WPMU DEV to access its API. However, you do not need to be a premium WPMU DEV member to access the cloud version. You can create a free Hub account, with some restrictions
And here is the mentioned limitation: https://wpmudev.com/docs/hub-2-0/free-hub-restrictions/#broken-link-checker

If you encountered any kind of issue with the Local version and images on your site, please open a ticket with us here, where we will help to investigate this issue: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/broken-link-checker/#new-topic-0, and in the end, rate our product better.
Kind Regards,
Kris
