What changed
Vendors change their terms and we sometimes get one wrong. Both are recorded here, newest first, and labelled so you can tell them apart. Every entry is dated the day we observed it, names the value before and after, and links the vendor page that shows the new one.
Everything below dates from the first verification pass, when this site's data was being built and re-read row by row. That is why the list is all our own corrections and no vendor changes: it records a day of checking our own work, not a year of vendors moving the goalposts. From here on the list grows one observation at a time, and a vendor change will be labelled as theirs.
- 2026-08-29 Zoner Studio (Zoner Photo Studio X) — export was Locked to viewer-only export once license lapses, now Photos stay viewable and exportable in viewer mode; editing stops. Our error, corrected. This inverted the vendor. In viewer mode photos stay viewable and exportable; it is editing that stops. Source for Zoner Studio (Zoner Photo Studio X)
- 2026-08-29 Wyze Video Doorbell Pro — verdict reason was Vendor's own comparison chart lists storage as Cloud Only; event video requires a paid Cam Plus subscription to save or review., now In Wyze's compare chart at the foot of the product page the Video Doorbell Pro's Storage row reads "Cloud Only" while its three siblings read "Local & Cloud" — the microSD bullet higher up that page belongs to the newer Wyze Battery Video Doorbell it cross-sells, not to this model. Keeping event video then needs a paid plan: "Cam Plus enables the doorbell to record full-length event videos.". Our error, corrected. The verdict and the "Cloud Only" fact both held; the reason was too thin to check. It now names where that word appears — the compare chart at the foot of the product page — and disowns the microSD bullet higher up, which belongs to a different model Wyze cross-sells there and would otherwise read as a contradiction. The verdict stayed reject. Source for Wyze Video Doorbell Pro
- 2026-08-29 WPS Office Pro+ — verdict reason was No one-time licence is sold: Pro+ is US$5.83/month billed at US$69.99/year. Full PDF editing and conversion, advanced OCR and the full e-signature tool are listed as Pro+ only, and the free WPS Standard tier carries ads with basic PDF features., now WPS sells no one-time licence. Every paid plan on its pricing page is a subscription — WPS Pro+ at "$5.83 /month Billed $69.99/Year" for a "1 Year" term, and a $29.99/year/user Sharing Plan — so the $69.99 buys twelve months of access, not the software.. Our error, corrected. Our reason claimed the free WPS Standard tier carries ads. That appears nowhere on the pricing page — we had inferred it from "No advertising" being listed as a paid benefit. We also dropped the sentence describing what the paid tier buys, which argued the wrong direction. The reason now rests on the one thing the page does show: every paid plan is a subscription, so the $69.99 buys twelve months of access rather than the software. The verdict stayed reject. Source for WPS Office Pro+
- 2026-08-29 Wave Accounting — verdict was reject, now pass. Our error, corrected. We had rejected Wave for gating multi-user seats behind its $19/month Pro plan. Seat count is not one of the three criteria this site publishes on How we verify, and the free Starter plan is free forever rather than a trial: unlimited estimates, invoices, bills and bookkeeping records, with CSV export, on web, iOS and Android. Other single-user tools on this site already pass on the same reading. Nothing about Wave changed — the rejection was ours to withdraw. Source for Wave Accounting
- 2026-08-29 Wave Accounting — verdict reason was Multi-user access is gated behind the $19/month Pro subscription; the free Starter plan is single-user only., now empty. Our error, corrected. The reason went with the verdict above. It cited multi-user gating, a criterion this site does not publish. Source for Wave Accounting

- 2026-08-29 Oura Ring 4 — export was None without active membership, now CSV export of all data via Membership Hub, with or without a membership. Our error, corrected. This was simply wrong. Oura documents CSV export of all data through the Membership Hub with or without an active membership. Source for Oura Ring 4
- 2026-08-29 Oura Ring 4 — verdict reason was Sleep, Readiness, and Activity scores require an active $5.99+/month Oura Membership even after buying the ring., now Detailed insights and personalised guidance need an active $5.99/month Oura Membership on top of the ring: without one Oura's support page says the app shows only the three daily scores (Readiness, Activity and Sleep), ring battery, basic profile information, app settings and the Explore content, and that the Oura API cannot be accessed.. Our error, corrected. Our reason named the three daily Sleep, Readiness and Activity scores as the thing a membership buys. Oura's support page says those are exactly what stays free without one. The gate is everything above them: detailed insights, personalised guidance and the Oura API. The verdict stayed reject, on a reason that is now the vendor's own. Source for Oura Ring 4

- 2026-08-29 Google Nest Doorbell (Battery) — verdict reason was No local storage; without Nest Aware only 3 hours of event video history with clips up to 3 minutes are kept., now Without a subscription the doorbell keeps only "3 hours of event video history with clips up to 3 minutes"; the store page sells the rest as "Additional video history with Google Home Premium" — up to 60 days — which is what Google now calls the plan formerly sold as Nest Aware.. Our error, corrected. The three-hour history gate still holds, but Google had renamed the plan: what was sold as Nest Aware is now Google Home Premium, and our reason still used the old name. We also dropped "no local storage" from the reason — it rests on an absence a reader cannot land on — and left that fact in the descriptive export column. The verdict stayed reject.

- 2026-08-29 FreshBooks — verdict reason was Double-entry accounting reports and bank reconciliation are hosted plan features that stop when billing stops, and the advertised $2.30 Lite price is a 90%-off offer for the first 3 months, then $23.00/month., now Invoicing and online card/ACH payment collection are what the $23.00 Lite plan is, and both are hosted-only: they stop the month you stop paying, and Lite caps you at 5 clients. Double-entry accounting reports and bank reconciliation are not in Lite at all -- they start at Plus, $43.00/month. The advertised $2.30 Lite price is a 90%-off offer for the first 3 months, then $23.00/month.. Our error, corrected. The gate did not change and neither did FreshBooks — we had named a gate from the wrong tier. Our reason cited double-entry accounting reports and bank reconciliation. Both are true of FreshBooks but absent from the $23.00 Lite plan this row prices; they start at Plus, $43.00/month. A reader checking the Lite column would have found our claim did not hold there. The reason now names invoicing and online card/ACH payment collection, which are what Lite is and are hosted-only, and states the Plus features as absent from Lite rather than as the Lite gate. The verdict stayed reject. Source for FreshBooks

- 2026-08-29 Banana Accounting Plus — verdict reason was Banana Accounting Plus is subscription-only; the older perpetual-license version (Banana Accounting 9) is no longer sold., now Banana's price list carries only two annual subscriptions — "Banana Accounting Plus - annual subscription (12 months)", CHF 89.00 for the Professional plan and CHF 179.00 for Advanced. No perpetual licence appears on it at any price, and the older Banana 9 is absent from it entirely.. Our error, corrected. Our reason said the perpetual Banana Accounting 9 is "no longer sold". The vendor says only that it is no longer supported and up to date — a weaker claim than ours. The reason now rests on what the price list itself shows: two annual subscriptions, and no perpetual licence on it at any price. The verdict stayed reject. Source for Banana Accounting Plus
- 2026-08-29 Arlo Video Doorbell (2nd Generation) — export was No local storage; cloud recording via Arlo Secure only, now No card slot on the doorbell (Storage Type: Cloud); cloud via Arlo Secure, or local to a separately sold SmartHub. Our error, corrected. The same correction applied to the export column: the doorbell has no card slot, but local recording does exist through a separately sold SmartHub, so the flat "no local storage" we had written was wrong.

- 2026-08-29 Arlo Video Doorbell (2nd Generation) — verdict reason was No microSD or local storage option is offered; only live view and basic alerts work without a subscription, recorded video needs Arlo Secure after the 1-month trial., now Recorded video needs a paid Arlo Secure plan once the 1-month trial ends: Arlo's FAQ says that without a subscription you keep motion notifications and the live feed, but "a subscription is required to maintain premium features like Video Cloud Storage". The doorbell stores nothing itself — its spec sheet lists Storage Type as Cloud — and local recording exists only through a separately sold SmartHub or Base Station from $99.99.. Our error, corrected. Our reason said no microSD or local storage option is offered. Arlo's own FAQ on the page we cite contradicts that: SmartHubs and Base Stations record locally and are sold as accessories on the same screen. The reason now makes the narrow claim the spec table supports — the doorbell itself stores nothing, Storage Type is Cloud — and keeps the true gate, that recorded video needs Arlo Secure once the one-month trial ends. The verdict stayed reject. Source for Arlo Video Doorbell (2nd Generation)
