I was taken back a bit by the monthly fee. I was thinking it was a one time purchase kind of app. $29.95 a year is not to expensive but still it seems like a tough sell. Obviously you are not having an issue if you are having a 30% conversion rate.
What I was looking for and didn't see right away was how did it work. I think a diagram would be worth a 1000 words in this case. In order for this to work, your computer has to be on that is running the client software. How often is it checking in with the cloud server to know something is ready to print? It has to be alot in order to be able to 'print in 15 seconds' as you claim. I'd have an issue with that, but I'm protective over what is running on my machine.
- jaredhansen 16y agoThanks for the feedback. On the fee: because the software checks in, we have fixed monthly per-user costs, so I am very hesitant about offering a one-time price. Obviously there's quite a bit of margin in the offering right now, but that's why it's not once-and-done. On the architecture: definitely agree that we should put up a "how it works" diagram. And to answer your question: right now, it checks with the server once per minute. We do it that way, as opposed to having the server ping your machine whenever there's something waiting for it, in order to make it easier to deal with firewalls and the like -- setup is a one-click process. As a result, the act of printing a doc takes less than 15 seconds, really (usually something like 8), but it can take up to 1 minute for the doc to arrive at the printer.
