Charging for a release that is considered Beta is a bit strange. I'll be happy to test Beta software, but completely unthrilled about being asked to pay for it.

CoverSutra ReviewGrowl support? - Version: 2.0.1, 2/9/2008 12:00AM PST

I know it has support for Growl, but it doesn't use Growl notifications. Even with that "use growl" selected I get the CoverSutra notification which is nice but I want uniformity. Other than that, CoverSutra ROX (and I got it as part of MacHeist)!
