- TeMPOraL 2y agoNot just that, they also plain tell you how much it costs to buy an entire rocket launch for yourself. https://www.spacex.com/media/Capabilities&Services.pdf https://www.spacex.com/media/Capabilities&Services.pdf To save a click, that PDF at this moment says clearly: STANDARD PAYMENT PLAN [for Falcon 9] (through 2024) $69.75 M Up to 5.5 mT TO GTO If they can put a specific base price on their website, so can any SaaS.
- andyferris 2y agoWhat's an mT? Millitonne?
- TeMPOraL 2y agoMetric ton, I believe.
- portaouflop 2y agoYou can put the 7 figure price on your webpage but I assure you that no one will pay it without taking to you in person…
- jaggederest 2y agoI've watched 7 figure deals go through self-service onboarding before, zero touch. I think the sales team eventually reached out, but they were using the product before they ever had a sales call. They certainly will pay it without talking to you in person. There's an asterisk here though, which is that you have to be essentially the best player in your field and really well known. I assure you that 7 figure deals happen every day on AWS, for example, without human intervention. Not all of them happen that way, but enough that it's not surprising.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoThat's fine. People don't necessarily want to do one-click purchase on 7 figure prices, they just want to know the order of magnitude, so they can determine whether to make that call in the first place. Not publishing reference prices is a strong indicator the company is basically running a scam.
