Cons:

• Subscription limitations can prevent future submissions thus the user has to manage the submissions at the end of every month.
• If you have integrated jotform with some API or web service, and you change your field labels, doing so will change field IDs too automatically hence causing a break in integration. I wish Jotform resolve this bug asap as it’s a major error when it comes for smooth workflow management.
