Q: You mentioned you have alot of 'complex' businesses modeled on your software.
Where can we see examples of this? Is there any template library or case studies we can see and play around with?
Can you model 'marketplace' type companies?
Is there the option to password protect a private workspace where clients and myself can collaborate on projects? Don't want clients to see other client's data.

May 14, 2024A: Hey there! Thanks for the question. Our team is actually working on building out a full template library as we speak!
If you can shoot me a email to john.ladaga@sturppy.com, I'll share a read-only link of an example marketplace model.
As to your second question - we're working on this concept of "sub accounts" - the functionality is built and went into private Beta on Monday. Sub accounts allow you to invite clients to their own modeling workplace, entirely unique to them. Clients can invite all their teammates to their sub-account to collaborate within their workspace. They have no access to or view of any of the primary account holders other sub accounts. The primary account owner can view and edit all of the sub accounts associated with their account.
It's in private beta at the moment but will be rolled out to all Tier 2 LTD purchasers who opt-in. Note: this new sub account functionality falls outside of scope with what's included with Tier 2's unlimited internal projects. We are still working out the mechanics but as of right now Tier 2 LTD owners who opt-in can still create unlimited internal projects AND they'll get up to 10 sub accounts for free but there will likely be added cost to create additional sub accounts beyond the 10 gratis.
thanks; would be nice to have unlimited sub accounts. Accounts without sub accounts aren't really useful (as far as I can tell), since you can always delete internal projects and free up space. Why does someone needs unlimited internal projects when you can't invite anyone to them?
Anyways...I do worry that future upgrades will be upsold / charged, given the thinking. Are you attaching the LTD to any specific plan?
Thanks.
We have a ton of users who don't have any issues building internal projects, inviting their clients to their own Sturppy account and using those internal projects with their clients in that way.
Sub accounts are more so standalone accounts with the added privacy of having their own independent workspace. From a technical perspective and from an internal cost perspective to provide this software to users, they're more complex and costly to spin up and maintain. Allowing unlimited for an LTD could potentially push our small company into the red.
We've had agencies/consultants who use Sturppy, charge their clients anywhere between $250 - $1,000 to build out a financial model with/for them. Even with access to 10 sub accounts a consultant or agency could make $2.5K - $10K in rev. from 10 clients - not a bad ROI for an $89 piece of software :). Adding more sub accounts beyond the 10 gratis will still be extremely cheap.
It's also likely that plans that include this sub account feature (post-LTD here on AppSumo) will cost $500 - $1000 on a yearly recurring basis for access to that same feature set. This isn't set in stone yet, mechanics are still in the works but Tier 2 LTD owners won't pay that recurring license fee - they've got access to it for life.
