I am a developer and I can use Vagrant free version with VirtualBox but Vagrant is not free for Parallels. and seeing this Lite version made me think that you wanted to gain popularity among the users who choose to use free Virtualbox and don't try the Standart version. If I remember correctly, you didn't have a Lite version at the beginning. Standart has great features that I might consider paying for but Lite has no advantage over VirtualBox. And it had made sense why Lite is free and Standart is not. I had checked the differences between Lite and Standart Version before downloading the Lite from App Store.

and when I realized the payment requirement after the trial period, I quit your app immediately without trying.
