I upgraded to paid within 24h of first using it. I didn't do it for reasons of missing out on options, but instead to make sure I was supporting a product I actually believed in and wanted to make sure I did as much as I could to see them succeed in the future.
Ultimately it was for selfish reasons as I want to continue using the tool to help myself. Aside from Dropbox, Netflix and Amazon Prime I'm not sure there's another recurring online service I value highly enough to pay for.
Looking at the diff from basic -> premium here https://www.stockrover.com/subscription.html I would pay for premium for the Quant Screener line item alone.
I think it'd be a bargain at 5x the price.
You can import / export quant screeners so I have a bit of a pipe dream that if enough of us use the tool we can compare + contrast our screeners, hopefully making us all better investors.
Edit: Screener import / export is just text. Here is the text of the main screener I use for quantifying equities.
