Hello, can I have an update ?

OpenLens is free, where as Lens requires a subscription, but has a few additional features.

Honestly though, in my professional time I've not had to use Lens features and OpenLens has sufficed perfectly for developing, deploying, configuring and troubleshooting apps.
