Hi @deadparrotsoftware,
Thanks for your opinion. It is not true that the free version is ineffective. Although the free version has limited features, it successfully fulfills its purpose. We offer a wide range of features for database replacement. You can undoubtedly make permanent replacements in your database using the free version.
It appears that @maudke has overlooked the pro features. To replace items in the database, you need to uncheck the ‘dry run’ option. For safety, this option is checked by default. When enabled, it provides detailed reports and a look to pro-features, allowing you to replace items easily, either individually or in bulk. When using the free version, simply close the reports once you are satisfied with the results, uncheck the ‘dry run’ option, and click the ‘Replace’ button. This will permanently change the desired items in the database. Also you can check our documentation for more detail.
