The way I see it, "Basic" is probably fine for most amateurs who don't own a computer-controllable telescope.
"Plus" adds telescope control ( if you have a compatible telescope and the controller hardware) , as well as a bigger database of objects (most of which you won't be able to see anyway!), and a few extra features, which are nice to have, but not essential. It's an absolute bargain right now at half price, and would suit most people well for years to come.
The extra features in "Pro" are probably really only relevant to professionals and very serious amateurs.
