Guys, we’re not going to change anybody’s mind here.
I’m not the biggest fan of the practice of giving new purchasers a free trial for a time period immediately when they buy, because too many of them don’t read it, and aren’t aware that it is just a free trial. (Which I hope they are notified of when they are set up. If not, they do need to be…in VERY BIG TEXT.)
Then it’s pretty freaking scary when you don’t know what exactly you’re going to be losing when the subscription expires.
Maybe doing it a month or two out would be better to give them something to compare to, so they don’t think they’re going to lose all functionality. Let them do it the regular way first, then let them try it with the Premium to see if they like it better, and think it’s worth buying into? Don’t know.
@yelobird…the functionality that has been demonstrated on all of the videos and Live Streams is the functionality that comes with the machine, without having to purchase the subscription. They are demonstrating how the machine functions on designs that were created using other programs, and they even show designs being created in other programs in the Live Streams. So the argument that they are advertising functionality that they then are charging for, without describing it as part of the Premium package, isn’t correct.
There is a 50% off Black Friday sale on the Premium subscription that expires on December 31st…if you haven’t made up your mind yet about trying it without the subscription, that is a way to extend your trial for a month or two at only $24.99, and that might help you to make the call on whether you want to keep the subscription. (If you don’t use the Premium tools, just cancel later.)
