I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t cost anything to make FotoMagico. But with this model, you’ve lost a long-time customer. You’ve rocked this niche market for the 16 years I’ve used FotoMagico, during which I have gladly paid any cost for every upgrade. That makes your subscription model a significant expense that doesn’t make sense (or should at least be priced as a niche product and not as a daily use product like any of the other products that have been mentioned in this thread). That subscription model would seem to make sense for mimoLive (which I see you already have in place).īut a slideshow app for photographers is a niche market and while we are probably regular users of this solution, we are far, far less than daily users. Those solutions are (by a massive majority) daily-use products for their customers. Ironically, those are exactly the reasons why a subscription model for FotoMagico is crap. In a post within this thread, you stated that FotoMagico can’t be compared to other products that have moved to a subscription model because they have larger customer bases and solve different problems. I’m betting that you can’t because they don’t exist. Please introduce us to these photographers by pointing us to their work. Apparently you must have met many of them to prompt this pricing change. Your pricing model would work if photographers made slideshows regularly, but I’ve not met a photographer who does that or found even one of their websites in my decades of work in photography or as an information technology worker. Everyone has their hands out for a few dollars a month and it continues to add up. But it’s like being nibbled to death by ducks. Yes, the subscription model is where developers are going. But I can’t even begin to describe the disappointment when I came to the site to upgrade (at whatever cost) and discovered the product is now only available via subscription. I was very excited when I received the notice about the new version. Good luck with the sole pricing option - but have a strong feeling you will loose me as a regular customer for many years If many big beneficial features added each year then maybe So something to compare to say Lightroom and Photoshop for $1 more I have used Fotomagico for many years - and yes there have Not been many drastic updates early I am not saying that $7.99 is not a valid one month option but most all vendors like web hosting companies give discounts for a year subscription and more discount on a 2 year etc. I cannot see my self be going through a payment process every month or selected months I suspected many others would want to say something about new pricing - and I see some have taken the time to express their disappointment My suggestion is to change pricing options. I likewise sent in a bug issue - no reply and bug still exists in version 6.0 I sent in several suggestions during Beta period - none accepted With current pricing I will only use Fotomagico very few times max 2-3 months and be forced to use Adobe Premier and my Movavi slideshow maker and move away from Fotomagico as I suspect pricing will go up even more Not sure how Fotomagico pricing structure was made - in comparison with Adobe and Microsoft $9.99 for MS Office with 5 TB cloud storage $7.99 for Fotomagico vs $8.99 for Adobe suite and I likewise pay $2 more for Microsoft Office ( MS Word - MS Excel - Powerpoint - Outlook and 5 TB of Cloud storage ) I am in agreement of I see many users - I pay $8.99 for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic and Lightroom mobile and Lightroom Cloud Is that better to have users buy 1 month and cancel and later buy 1 month and cancel ?
