I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in recently to get Captcha for a web site that CBSubs is now available.

Most of my clients have sponsors who pay annually. They don't get any greater access to the site, but they have, for example, silver, gold, platinum levels at different rates. Does CBSubs support this approach?

Unfortunately, the pricing model won't work well for the majority of my clients. My clients want to be able to manage their mailing lists on the sites - the vast majority of whom will never be "members". So as I seek a solution that will allow them to do this, while still have the members, sponsors and board members visible through various CB Lists, makes the pricing model for CBSubs cost-prohibitive.

DT Register has a "Developer License" option, which allows me to use the component on multiple sites.

Spreading the cost over 10-15 client sites is a workable solution, but having each client pay $300-$400, well, that's about 80% of what I charge for the entire site - including hosting!

CBSubs would benefit from a single site/developer pricing model. Splitting $400 over 5-6 clients is doable. Paying that much for each client would be far too much.

Thank you

Thank you for your response, Krileon.

I know it's difficult to predict what the needs will be on these things.

You might be able to have the best of both worlds if there were a "Developer License" that allowed use on multiple sites without the restrictions on users. It could be priced above your current "unlimited" price, and would make sense for a lot of Joomlapolitans.

Since my clients are tightly restricted by the government for one reason or another, I can't charge enough to cover even the minimum single-user license (combined with all the other costs). It's highly unlikely that any of my clients will get anywhere close to 500 members, but I'm also looking for another tool which will allow them to use the name and address data they collect for mailing, which could be thousands of names.

The way it's measured now (the user table), I'd have to pay for a larger user maximum in order to support just a few registered users on each site.

Thanks for giving this some consideration.
