I don't think it's any more reasonable.
I like coffee, but I've not bought even a 4€ cup of coffee in a few months. Actually I don't visit coffee shops a lot, I much prefer drink my coffee at home (or at work, where it's free)...
Also if they argued that 7€ would be just 2 beers per month... maybe I'd still take 2 beers over some ridiculous SaaS. TLDR: I don't like subscriptions.
- gnicholas 7y agoIf you really don’t like subscriptions, then people who are considering how to pitch their SaaS services probably shouldn’t put too much weight on your opinion... Not to be rude — just pointing out that feedback from someone who is highly unlikely to purchase a type of product is less relevant. For the record, I also don’t like subscriptions, and I probably put too much weight on my distaste when pricing my startup's products.
- jakobegger 7y agoYeah, but currently everyone seems to focus just on those few customers who like subscriptions. Nobody caters to the guys who don't like subscriptions. (Or maybe just nobody blogs about it)
- gnicholas 7y agoIs it just a few customers who like subscriptions? I'm not sure this is the case. I know my startup has an iOS app with one-time IAPs, but we see way more usage of our Chrome extension, which is a subscription. I have resisted the push to make or app subscription-based, since I personally would never buy an app with a subscription. But perhaps I'm out of step with the "kids these days"? I also have zero subscriptions to Chrome extensions, and we have plenty of customers there...
