Ask HN: Lifetime pricing for SAAS App?

5 pointsby webstartupperalmost 12 years ago
I want to test a different pricing strategy for my SAAS web app - DomCop. Currently, I have a monthly pricing scheme (like normal SAAS apps do) and want to try a lifetime pricing i.e. Pay $X and have access to the app for life.<p>Do you have any examples for apps that have done something like this? I tried googling it and searching here - but I might be using the wrong keywords for it.<p>Thanks

I&#x27;ve thought about pricing like this in the past but it&#x27;s important to consider what happens when you decide to stop working on&#x2F;supporting&#x2F;customer service.<p>If memory serves, there was a bit of backlash against 37Signals when they shuttered Breeze (<a href="https://basecamp.com/breeze" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;basecamp.com&#x2F;breeze</a>) especially because of the lifetime pricing.

Basecamp from 37signals have a &quot;Basecamp: Personal&quot; account, where you pay once for a single project<p><a href="https://basecamp.com/personal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;basecamp.com&#x2F;personal</a>

A lot of games are doing that, why not a SAAS app?

teamviewer.com has this though the lifetime price is also linked to the local machine version.
