It is always a bummer when the price for something goes up, but NiftyStats lets you see your saved passwords and everything, so it is not like they make it terribly difficult to use a different option or go back to checking individually. NiftyStats is not a church, charity, community group, art project, or government, so I don't get being angry at them for tweaking their business model to stay viable. Businesses do that.Comment

I think only they know the answer to this question.. but in the long-run is better to have a free version also (just to have people get used to the good life then upgrade).. so I think they would stay with free+paid versions if they made the same money with the free+paid then now without the free version
Hehe yes, but I think they were selling the ad spaces not showing their own ads (referral).

i actually clicked ads if i wanted to check a new webmaster program. think i signed up for a few too. nifty was also one of the few things i ran on my sig at other forums for a while.
but seriously, how many times can "count duh money" show up? either i wasn't interested or already signed up. i don't need to see it a million times to get the point.
if they optimize their ads, they could probably do ok. but i don't think they did that at all.
also, if they keep getting webmasters to sign up under them, under all these new programs with their own referral codes, then maybe webmasters will need to upgrade anyway. that means income from referrals and memberships, while still catering to the free members until they run enough programs to upgrade.
in theory it could work. but in theory, taco bell meat is also real.Last edited by 1215; 08-11-2011, 02:43 PM.Comment

He used it when it was free. He cared enough to make a "fuck you" thread. That was time he could have used to manually check his stats which is what he's going to be doing if he can't/won't pay the asking price.I have a 2003 American dime which I will gladly sell to you for $15 via Paypal. If you are not willing to pay that price then you should probably get a job, right?
You see it isn't that simple. There is the question of the value of the product to the individual. It isn't just a matter of whether or not they can afford it.
Niftystats doesn't owe anyone anything. Pay the money and use the program or don't pay the money and get good with spreadsheets.I like pie.Comment

Id rather not flush $240 down the drain.
If it's free I'd use it but yes $20 a month is too much. I am in business too. Or trying to stay in business.
Ill get this cash-stats going or one of the other free ones.
Thanks for the link.

Damn that's a shame, hadn't seen the Nifty Stats email yet.
Shame to say it, but I won't be paying $20 a month to check stats.TripleXPrint on Megan Fox

Statsremote has saved me a ton of time over the years, but when I look back and realize that I have spent $2k+ on it it's kind of staggering.Comment

Thank you. If you cant make a free/paid version then maybe you are trying to get rich off the wrong product.
Joe Blow wm is not going to piss $20 a month away when he can have 10 icons in his taskbar.
It is more fun anyhow. What, ND (for example) is one click stats from an icon. And I know what all the stats nuances are. I know who is doing what. I dont need bells and whistles.
So stats progs are nice and I might still use one but bad biz to throw your money away unless you got a LOT of good progs... maybe.
Id still prioritize and just click an icon once in a while.Last edited by Vjo; 08-11-2011, 03:15 PM.Comment

I can open 10 sponsors with icons and know stats faster than NS.
Way faster.
Plus you have to go in manually all the time anyhow to your sponsors to really see what's happening.Last edited by Vjo; 08-11-2011, 03:24 PM.Comment

I use Stats Remote because we use Macs however I fail to see the problem with paying much less than 1% of our income for a service which saves heaps of time. I don't want to spend time checking individual programs, I want to spend time making money.
These stats programs need constant updates to keep them working for the wide array of programs out there, that's why they run a subscription model.
If you're going to bitch over $20 - $30 per month for a massive time saving then maybe you need to find another occupation that pays better
