You dropped your crown, king 👑
I pay for proton mail and I’m so sick of every company trying to do this stupid fucking pricing plan. I don’t understand why they can charge 19.99 for the same service BUT if I pay upfront for an entire year or two, you get a discount. It’s not a limited fucking supply, my guys!
No thanks, chief. There are way too many things going on in this life to hand you that amount of money upfront. It just makes me look at those ridiculous prices and wonder why I just cant give you fucking 11.99 a month!
What. The. Fuck.
Money now is worth more than the same amount of money later. There'd rather get paid up front. Plus it locks you in rather than risking you dropping off after a couple of months
It's to do with having a consistent income for them. Taking a hit to monthly costs is potentially worth it if you can guarantee the income for a period of time. It's the same reason why regular savings accounts have higher interests than a standard account.
It also lowers the number of transaction they have to do, which lowers costs a little.
I guess I’m just crazy for thinking lower prices = more subscriptions.
As an extra to this people might go with the longer term to lock get the deal then after a period that's so long one of two things happens.
Welcome to literally everything? It's called volume-based discount. Just like if you buy a box of cookies from the grocery store, you'll pay a fuckton more than if you buy a pallet of cookies from the exact same company.
Ah, yes. Comparing a digital asset that is infinite, to a product that is physical and finite.
Try harder.
Yes, because the infrastructure that Proton hosts their service on is "infinite". Everyone knows that Amazon charges the same price to reserve one instance of EC2 as they charge for reserving 10,000.
What exactly do you think the "cloud" is composed of? Fairy dust? It's composed of all sorts of finite things - servers, storage, networking, electricity, etc. etc. etc.
Do you really think I’m fucking stupid?
So, you just said that they charge for ONE instance, the same amount they charge for 10,000. How is it they can charge the same amount without applying your little bulk buy analogy???
So, why does the same not apply to Proton? Proton can charge the lower amount, as they should, and win by acquiring more subscriptions and more consistent revenue because more people will find it worth the fucking price.
Try harder.
is the 2 year offer gone? I don't see it
