this made me think of a business model for a piece of software. Charge per feature? I wonder if this could be successful. For example, you offer some software with base features, and have the users pay to add specific features.
- DHowett 14y agoLike the Home/Professional/Ultimate licensing tiers of old, each presenting slightly more features than the last? Or more like in-app purchases on mobile phones, providing additional features for increments of cash, proverbially nickel-and-diming the user into oblivion? Both of these things have been done, and of course, their worth is in the eyes of those making the money.
- bawllz 14y agonot exactly. More like you offer a base line service (for example sake lets say for free), then you offer individual feature add-ons at a cost. That way, rather then paying x$ for upgrading say, professional to ultimate and getting a bunch of features you don't need, and the single one that you do, you buy exactly what you want, and no more. Also could provide a way of priming your users to submit features that they would actually want to pay for.
