Free vs Pro
Every effect is free.
Pro is control.
This table is generated from the list of settings Ultimate Cursor Pro registers with plugin v2.5.0 — the same list the server uses to decide what a licence unlocks. The free plugin itself shows no locked controls. Of 146 settings across the catalog, 59 are free, 86 need Pro and 1 are split.

Your settings survive a lapse
If Pro expires, nothing is deleted. Premium values stay dormant in the database and return when the licence does — the free plugin simply stops sending them to the browser.
20 shapes need Pro
Shapes 1–5 are free. Shapes 6–25 are part of Pro, enforced server-side rather than hidden in the UI.
Start free. Upgrade when you want the knobs.
