Looks really nice. I don't understand why you need to have a monthly subscription for this, who wants to trace bitmaps every month!? A system where you get, say, 30 conversions for $10, or a license for a single day for $10 seems like a much more interesting deal. This is the kind of service I would pay for in a heartbeat, because tracing manually is a major pain. But a subscription? No way.

I agree. Also, the execution is really slick, not only in the app, but also in the actual landing page. It took me longer to choose an image than it did for me to figure out what to do. You must have an amazing UI designer.

I worked at a company that often times needed to upscale out of the loop people's logos to then feed to embroidery machines for custom products. So many people in the golf industry have no idea what sizing and quality standards are for logo work that half the time I received logos that were copied and pasted from a website... So needless to say, we had a monthly subscription to Vectormagic while I worked there...

Oh, I find it really easy to imagine people who could use that. My first reaction is that $8/mo. is a bit pricey but it's actually a really good deal for someone who can't afford/justify the $300, while keeping them engaged rather than driving them away. The 'no signup' to try is also great.

I used to print t-shirts for a living. This site made the t-shirt forum rounds a while back as a time-saving way to convert art into screen-printable art. So to answer your question, the apparel decoration industry is a huge consumer of graphical applications that manipulate art into formats that can be output to a shirt for example. Considering a good shop does hundreds if not thousands of orders a month, subscription based auto-formatting is a pretty good deal. Also, there are freelancers and companies that manually create vector art from any supplied format. So these guys can use this as a streamlining/base-lining tool as well.

The bottom of the pricing page (https://vectormagic.com/pricing https://vectormagic.com/pricing) mentions that you can purchase "tokens", where 1 token == 1 image. You need to sign up for an account to view a token pricing list, which is annoying, but fortunately that's as easy as providing them with an email address -- there isn't even an email verification hoop to jump through. 5 tokens is $14.05 ($2.81/image), 10 tokens is $26.65 ($2.67/image), and 20 tokens is $48.60 ($2.43/image).
