I view this deal as a risk-reward proposition. In the worst-case scenario, EventsFrame fails to deliver on its promises. Then you’re out $49 and the time you invest into learning and using the product. However, if EventsFrame team delivers on their promises then you could be potentially saving A LOT of money over the long-run. If you’re a nonprofit that runs several events a year, your savings could be thousands a year with no upper limit on potential savings. Where else can you find that potential ROI?

The main thing you need to determine is how likely will EventsFrame reach its potential. Right now, the product appears functional for some use cases, but it still has a long way to go. With that said, I am impressed by how responsive the EventsFrame team has been with feature requests and customer questions. The roadmap has already changed significantly since this deal began with some key features being moved up in the timeline.

It’s important to recognize that the EventsFrame team has a strong incentive to continue developing and improving their product. EventsFrame is the backbone of AppsEvents, the company associated with the founders of EventsFrame. The ability for AppsEvents to successfully host events in the future may largely depend on the continued improvement and development of EventsFrame. Therefore, I think it’s unlikely that the founders of EventsFrame will suddenly abandon development of the product because that would directly impact AppEvents.

I recommend that people listen to the Tropical MBA podcast with Dan Taylor, one of the founders of EventsFrame. By listening, you could tell in Dan’s voice that his heart is building EventsFrame into a dominant player in the events ticketing industry.

You may not need this product yet. I don’t have a need yet. But I got this deal anyway because of what this product could become one to two years from now.
