I'm in America, so I want to make sure I understand your fee for the Customization plugin. Is that 800 Euros or $843 US dollars?
The price is 800€ in the shop. Your bank may convert in $.
If that is correct, I'm struggling with that. Open source software with Projeqtor, which I appreciate, and a plugin at that price?
Yes, it is our business model : the software is free, but plugins and services are not.
But it is.
Appls and plugins in the U.S. are typically less than $10, or in some cases a substantial plugin might be $19
That's not the price I know for MS-Project, Primavera or Sciforma.
You must compare what can be compared.
Projeqtor is not a small mobile App with 100 line of code, developped in few days by a single developper.
Projeqtor is more than 650 000 lines of code (only counting specific code, not counting external libraries)
We also not target to platforms like Drupal or other CMS, that can propose Plugins at very low price as number of users will generate thouthands of sells for plugins.
Also these platforms cann propose low prices plugins as plugin developers only developped the plugin, this means small code, so they can offer it at low price.
.
So please understand my bewanderment when you are saying your customization plugin in over $800 U.S. Dollars. That cannot be right. I've never heard of a plugin for $800.
But once again, this is our business model : the software is free (yes completely free, there is no premium version, all features are included in the free version), but plugins and services are not.
Now, we define price for each plugin from the time spend to develop it and features it brings.
About screen customization plugin, we often have feedbacks from users that compared to the time and flexibility won with this plugin, it is very cheap.
I'm only using Projeqtor for a small christian ministry for helping us to develop our blog. I can't possibly pay over $800. That's the price of the last 20 pieces of software I purchased over the last 7 years. Help me out here. Is there a way for us to use this for our non-profit ministry so it would be affordable?
You can just use the community free version, that works fine, and will cover your needs, and will not cost a cent.
It is only if you want to customize the tool to best fit your needs that you'll have to pay.
We can also develop on requests demands, but once again, this is not free.
And as a precision, to be more clear, none of our training sessions are free.
You must understand that behind this software, there is a team that works 100% on the software.
And they just don't code for the pleasure : it is their living.
If no user contributes and pay for services or plugins, the team will desapear, and so will the tool.
