Q: Hello, Nevena.
Please help me understand what we really need to do…and which version of the future events we should expect.
In an answer to question by TwirlDigital on 29 January you said ‘We plan to launch lifetime deals for addons, hopefully in April or May.’
Then all of a sudden circa February 7 messaging changed to ‘we will provide 20% discount for any of the add-ons or bundles if you have wpDataTables premium plugin.’
So, I want to be completely clear – was the first message incorrectly released?
Second point - I know the deal has expired now but for all of us who bought some codes – it is important to make an informed decision about whether to keep or refund. Since you made a statement ‘Add-ons for wpDataTables are additional functionalities and integrations that are not necessary for most of the use cases’ I want to make a counter-statement and affirm that without the filtering add-on the whole wpDatatables plugin is pretty much useless.
What I see here is what is not giving me peace of mind – a single code of the core plugin is $49, and filtering add-on discounted at 20% is $167.2! So you are charging for ‘functionalities and integrations that are not necessary for most of the use cases’ 3.4 times the price of the plugin? By all means the functionality of advanced filters should be a part of the core plugin. With these numbers Appsumo made this deal a no-deal. No value, period.
By the way, on the lifetime pricing table on your site next to each price rate I see /yr – so are these annual or perennial rates?
I will be happy to hear from you the answers that will clear all doubts.
Thanks,
Nevena_Trafft
May 15, 2024A: Hi,
I would be happy to clarify. Yes, I have said that we will launch lifetime plans for add-ons on our website in April or May. Still, we managed to launch them even earlier, so they are available on our website - lifetime update and support included in lifetime plans. Additionally, we provide 20% discount, as we said from the beginning - that massage has never changed :)
I would not agree that wpDataTables is useless without our Powerful filters add-on, as thousands of users who use wpDataTables without any Add-On prove. Filters and search functions are part of the plugin which you can test it on our sandbox, and Powerful filters add-on is for Cascade filtering.
Thank you, and I hope you will enjoy using our products.
Have a beautiful day!
