Hi Georgie,
I'm not sure what you read that gave you the idea you had to pay for Multiterm, unless you just looked at the cost of purchasing it as a standalone product? If you look at the details of what's included with the different versions of Studio then perhaps it gives you the information you need:

Professional and Freelance versions clearly stats that they include SDL MultiTerm. Only the Starter version does not.

Yes, I think it was the fact that MultiTerm is also sold as a stand alone product that made me think that.
I have been looking at upgrading for the last 6 months and got the impression that MultiTerm wasn't included anymore. Apparently this is not the case, hurrah! I'm afraid I'm not going to dissect why I thought this or start trying to defend it either as it's not really my problem.
As I said, despite understanding that Tom and others aren't interested in CAT tools and being surprised that others want to insist he uses them, I do find them handy and Trados Studio is my favourite.
I would recommend trying the free trials of paying CATs though, as I am really not a fan of the free tools available (please don't feel you need to tell me why I'm wrong about this, it's just personal preference and I have the read the rest of the thread).
Edited to point out that I did not compare versions, I wouldn't expect discussion of MultiTerm to only appear at that point, as I know already that I don't want to buy the starter or professional version.
