What Dash features require purchase and what’s free?

The only feature that remains free is Dash's ability to download and generate docs for offline use.

Dash has a 30-day free trial, after which it continues to function fully, except that it displays pages after an 8-second delay in its internal browser, which makes navigating/browsing the docs within Dash quite bothersome. Users would then have to purchase Dash, or navigate the docs using an external browser.

Do you allow only free tools / resources in this listing? If that's the case, I completely understand and respect that decision. I don't think Dash would be a good fit.
