Something many users of SEO Autopilot have been asking for is now with us. No, it’s not the ability to create more links, though of course we will have news on that coming up in the near future.
This is about payment, and the ability to pay using a subscription / direct debit credit card.
As some of you may know, Paypal, while a real boon for those with credit in their account and providing excellent flexibility, is not always the easiest to use when dealing with complex subscription-based models such as those used by SEO Autopilot.
Using a credit card for your subscription also gets the user all the rights and insurances that are provided by your card backer. It’s an excellent second choice way to pay for your online services.
SEO Autopilot is technically an SAAS.
SAAS stands for “software as a service” and while you install the application locally, it relies on regular calls and updates from the developers to keep it up to date. The subscription model is an excellent way for both the developer and the client to know that real value is being maintained.
In short, as long as the developer provides value, updates and after sales support, the value is there for the consumer. If the consumer gets value and continues to subscribe, the developer is incentivised to maintain high service quality standards. Everyone wins
Of course, providing a good number of people opt into monthly subscription, thereby guaranteeing this balance, there is great value for users who want to opt into the lifetime license, knowing that that most of the developer’s income is not reliant on lifetime license sales, but on subscription. This hybrid sales model, probably 70% subscription and 30% lifetime license ensure everyone gets real value and there is a strong element of security for both developers and users for the long term.
