iSpring Free vs. Pro
Often users ask about the differences between the free and pro versions of iSpring -- and while iSpring Solutions does have extensive documentation on the differences, I thought it will be nice to have that information available on the FlashPPT site.
Nina Lezhnina from iSpring sent me an exhaustive comparison.
