End of an era. Perfectly aligns with all the AI hype and the death of SaaS narrative.

Bruh... Was that invoice an April Fools’ joke?
or did you really raise our rate 300% and call it a discount?
Last year we paid $3500 for our maintenance agreement.
Your new invoice shows $10,681 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is “300% is the new 3%”?

Hey Steven, I wish it was April fools haha.
We were acquired by a PE firm at the start of last year.
They've made it a completely different model.
You are not the only one this has happened to.
We were a Subscription First, before we got purchased. They moved to Subscription only. Which is why you are seeing that ridiculous almost out of control uplift.
But it is what it is. ... Thanks, and sorry Steven. Have a good day man!
