At this point, this is the way I feel. At their price point, Chargify is a useful tool to get off the ground quickly but not quite as useful as a long term solution. At your example of $2000 for the development of a billing system, Chargify is only viable for a short period of time. At $49/month that wasn't so bad. Now, at $99/month I think it's overpriced for that purpose.
- sokoloff 16y agoI look at it this way: most startups have more than enough work, and not enough hours in the day to accomplish it all and therefore should be concentrating on solving the things that are absolutely core/critical to their product/service. Those are the things that your customers find valuable (and will give you money for). Anything that's "undifferentiated slog" that you sort of have to do in order to exist, but that your customers don't give a fig about should be eliminated, reduced, outsourced or purchased if that saves you time to spend on what they do care about.
