Is Optimus worth the price?
Optimus offers a fair pricing structure, especially with its generous free tier and the affordable Optimus HQ at $39/year.
The Optimus HQ PRO at $169/year seems a bit expensive for essentially offering 'one license for all customer projects' over 'one license for all own projects' compared to the HQ tier. It's best for individual bloggers and small businesses looking for cost-effective image optimization.
