Plugin filter for plugins that require payed API or features #38490

Have a similar filter like Google Play Store or Apple Store that clearly shows if the plugin has features that require payment/service to be purchase

with the arising number of plug-ins that require to be a client to use the plug-in to it's full extend, i suggest that a filter can be set on the plug-in fetch menu, that clearly mentions if the plug-in is 100% "free" or if it requires payment to be used. This can let to frustrating experience of installing something that does not work as in the description. a single tag "paid features" that can be filtered can easily help those that are not aware that certain features do require payment, either via paid API client or different version of the same plug-in to clients and none clients
