I don't see how some people think we are oh so expensive (some people think we're way too cheap). Don't get me wrong. I don't mind doing discounts and specials from time to time as everyone should know
However, this is your business. This is the software that will run your business. You don't want to spend $1000 on some little script that some kid writes in his basement. We have an office to maintain, support and development staff salaries to pay, etc. $150 to $650 for software as in depth and complex as NATS is is not a bad deal.
Add up your processing fees for a month on a decent sized program. I'm not knocking processors or their fees in any way but $150 to $650 is a drop in the bucket.
As far as install & training. Installation can sometimes take hours depending on the situation on a clients server. They all have different setups and there are very often isssues and lots of Q&A in the install processs.
Unlike our competitors we train you on our software. This process takes 6-10 hours and also includes free ongoing support. (We haven't charged for ANY support instances for months and are most likely going to include free support on leases all together very shortly). Even when we did occasionally charge for a support instance it was very rare and in the most extreme circumstances.
So, you get a very complex software product installed, full training, and full support from a staff of very talented people for $1500 up front and $150 to $650 per month ($350 and $650 only once your program has grown to easily support the amount). I don't really think thats too bad of a deal. If you can't afford to spend $150 to $650 to run your business how are you ever going to pay your affiliates?
This post is NOT specific to you. Please don't feel I'm offended by your post or "yelling" at you or "attacking" you as people always seem to love to assume. Just venting a bit over the numerous calls and icqs we get saying how our software is ridiculously priced and should cost $100-500 or some other insane amount.
Also, as said, I have no problem running specials and I'm sure we'll have a very nice one coming up soon.
