Ask HN: MemberGate -- Worth It?

2 pointsby sscheperabout 16 years ago
Hi everyone,<p>A client of mine just got back from a seminar. Apparently, a company (looks like a CMS) was pushing their product MemberGate (http://membergate.com), which costs around $5,000<p>What do you think? I'm leaning towards it being a knock-off/rip-off. There's nothing on them online.

Was it a seminar that offered free stuff (like lunch) for showing up?<p>As the marginal cost of providing this service ought to be low, any reputable provider ought to give your client a single-member license on an evaluation basis.<p>$5K doesn't sound like much if it's hosted and no additional fees are levied. If SaaS, why aren't they using a subscription model?
