I'm just not understanding why a business would pay 200 bucks a month for this. Even at the cheaper price point this just seems a tad silly to me.

- primeobsession 10y agoIts about recognizing people doing great things in your org. It really has become a part of the culture in the companies that have been using it (and pay) for months now.
- stephenr 10y agoI'm struggling to understand why it's a 'service' at all, as opposed an app that can be purchased, like say http://panic.com/statusboard/ http://panic.com/statusboard/
- primeobsession 10y agoInteresting thought. It would be complicated to pack this into something that you just purchase. Props integrates into Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, etc. Maybe we are not communicating the product well on the site.
- stephenr 10y agoOh I'm sorry, I forgot that provider API's are magical, mythical beasts that must be tamed from an intermediary server, never from a client. It's OK to say "we don't think enough people will pay enough for a one-time purchase to cover development costs". You don't have to invent some kind of technical reason for it to be a service. But having said that, I cannot believe that companies would pay the amount you're asking for a service either.
