I am a pro user w/ a regular Gmail and a Gapp (work) account, so if I read this correctly my personal Gmail can be upgraded to Prime for “free” and the Gapp (work) for a 30% discount?
I have all my employees paying, so I do like this program but I will tell you this smells of a Ringplus scam and TBH I don’t know how you can fund development w/ a 1 time charge.
As you probably know Ringplus started out free then continuously changed their plans, got people to sign up for “membership” – like Prime, then screwed them, and then went to a freemium model giving folks w/ membership discounts. And all along the way the CEO made promises and the like and then backed out on them.
So my point is (I work for a software company), I simply do not see how this will fund future product development unless you are:
- Know that google or some other 3rd party will make the multi-account functionality of your product obsolete
- You are trying to get as much money as possible, and then either go out of business, seriously ramp down support/development, or come up with some new scheme to charge customers.
- You start (or already have) been data mining and reselling habits since you are in the data path (quite alarming)
- You start barraging w/ ads.
Personally I don’t want any of them and as a business user I have grave concerns when a pricing model changes like this, because to me stability and confidentiality are top of mind.
Just saying, I have hundreds of dollars on my team per year coming to you, so you can understand as a business customer I am shaky and your product saves my team from unending aggravation w/ Gdrive crappy software.
