One of the limits is that you can't choose where your downloads go. Also, there are now ads on the unpaid version, which I think weren't there before.
I grew to dislike the app after running into the limits/ads. It does work, but it feels cheap and unpolished. There's no way I'd ever buy one of the pricing plans. I just don't feel like I would be getting my money's worth, especially when I could just go through a more involved solution.

Ah, okay. I'm considering buying it because it fills a certain need (transferring files easily between my iOS and Android/PC devices easily and quickly. 10€/year for something that works well, takes a minimum of tapping buttons and just doesn't get in my way, it seems worth it. But then I'm somebody who'll pay 20€ for an app if it means I "own" it and it solves whatever problem I have.
edit: Okay, on a closer look, it seems like you do need two licenses, because the iOS license can only be purchased through the iOS app. Just wish they'd provide a brief trial so I could test it.
edit2: Nevermind, apparently, if you install the apps, you can use them in a limited fashion before buying. It doesn't say anywhere what the limits are, but it says there are limits.
