This sounds awesome! There are lots of applications in places like local government.
One potential problem with offering _only_ commodified whip-out-your-credit card pricing is that innovative business units inside large orgs can’t make use of your product, since they need to motivate for budget and generally procure for specific deliverables.
AWS has addressed this by making it possible to buy a 3 year compute ‘asset’ which you can record as a capital expense rather than an operating expense.
Pay attention to pricing your product in a way that enables your customers to buy it!
- winstontri 6y agoFantastic point! We're emphasizing the whip-out-your-credit-card-to-pay model as a departure from the existing industry sales cycle, but we don't expect this to be the only pricing mechanism customers would like. On the AWS topic, we've similarly seen a good amount of reception around a credits-based system. > Pay attention to pricing your product in a way that enables your customers to buy it! You're absolutely correct and thank you for the feedback!
