Please note this change has no impact on our existing customers, including those using the free version.
I give it six months before they start strong-arming free users into paid accounts.
- sharkweek 14y agoDoubtful, plenty of people would jump on the chance to create a competitor, especially since they could market it as a cheaper (or free) alternative.
- joahua 14y agoIt's been nearly six years of free. That's pretty gradual strong-arming. Note that per user limits continue to apply, so people have as much incentive as they ever did to upgrade, plus for any new domains/projects people will naturally either migrate to other options (then consolidate services around these, moving themselves off Google) or start paying. Not convinced there's any need for hostility on either side.
- loceng 14y agoThis is to kill the competition; At minimum to gain a competitive advantage.
- antihero 14y agoI use it for a small activist group that I help run. There's just no way we'd have the budget for it.
- froo 14y agoI'm curious what happens with the people that are in limbo - that is still in their 30 day trial period and are unable to downgrade to a free version because of that.
