How do you plan on keeping a long business with a non subscription model at such a low cost?

I know people who are using this tool for accessiblity reasons and absolutely LOVE it, much better than tools they buy for hundreds even thousands of dollars. They are concerned that with this pricing model you won't be able to support yourselves long term.

Have you thought about a subscription model instead for updates to the software?

Thanks for the kind words, they're really great to hear!

We have considered a subscription model in the past, but one of the big selling features of our apps is that the licenses are lifetime. For now we plan to keep it that way, but it's something we may reconsider in the future if we can't keep up development with the current model :)

I disagree with the choice, but my opinion doesn't really matter you guys can do as you please!

Your pricing model doesn't necessarily incentivize all the things your consumers probably want. Software as a service tends to align business interests pretty well with customer demand and longevity. From the looks of it new products are the drivers for most revenue growth which is brutally hard to do. Instead laser focusing on a few and becoming excellent at each of them might be curious. Seems like there's some verticals that could be targetted for voicebot outside of gaming. I'd love to walk through that scenario for voicebot and pilot something out.

Took a look at 4-5 of your other products. Very impressive that 2 of you maintain all of this software. I'd imagine there's some contracting out of work but if it's all in house that's pretty incredible. The standardization is very slick as well. Change log's across the product lines tell the story pretty clearly (products like shellsend are probably on their way out)

I'd love to offer a few ideas. I'm in software myself (5 years at a SaaS company, mostly systems/architecture now), it'd be fun to have a quick conversation. Let me know if that's something you'd like to do!

I appreciate the feedback, it sounds like you have some experience in this. We're content with the way we're running right now and we have some (non-public) plans for the future as well that we're excited about so stay tuned. :)
