This X 100
I would rather pay you $50 with a major update every year that costs $50 than $50/yr subscription. Because if the resubscription comes up and things are a little tight I lose access to the app. Or if I don’t use the app I don’t have to worry about accidentally autoresubscribing
- GordonS 6y agoFor desktop software, and mobile apps without a backend, I agree. For everything with a backend though, I just don't see how it's a sustainable business model to allow customers to keep using the backend in perpetuity. Of course, a lot of consumers know knowing about the tech that's involved, so as a software engineer I have a different perspective here.
- dwighttk 6y agosure, but don't tie in a backend if it isn't required (e.g. adobe) sell it as a separate service.
