Why is SixBit Subscription Based?
We feel the subscription model works best for us. Most licensed software is sold for an initial licensing fee and then offers upgrades every year or so. In the fast paced world of eCommerce, we cannot afford to wait a year between releases. eCommerce sites change very quickly and we need to respond quickly with new releases. With a subscription model, we can respond to changes and implement user requests in a matter of days, rather than months or years.
In the end, users are still paying for the initial download and upgrades, however, the payments are spread out over time. If a client adds up all the time that SixBit can save in a month, it is clear that it pays for itself, no matter how the payments are made.
