You get what you pay for with Wordpress plugins. There are some great free ones that are mainained.

Then you get ones that can't survive minor wordpress upgrades, or are full of security holes.

The worst is when you have a highly motivated person who throws a ton of them together to buid a website, and then it languishes and becomes out of date, and any upgrading you do will start culling plugins from their baby.
