Anyone else find that the free version of a tool is sometimes better than the paid one?

This sounds weird but it's happened to me a couple times. The free version is simple and does exactly what I need. Then I try the paid tier and it's stuffed with features, dashboards, and settings I never asked for, and the thing I actually liked gets buried. I end up going back to free or just leaving entirely. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I just picky about interfaces?
