- gscott 17y agoIt is an insane amount of work to create a product better then the paid versions, then add in extras that go above and beyond for a fee. Once you start bringing on people, you have to start working to keep them happy, while also trying to build those extra features. In a perfect world a person would have funding to do that but for most startups funding is not available. I have yet to see a funded startup pull something like that off either.
