wpDataTables

Product details

Q: Hello wpDataTable...

The base Appsumo deal looks to be a great discount when compared to your already established LTD pricing.

3 websites = 389 vs Appsumo offer 3 websites = $49
unlimited websites = $598 vs Appsumo Offer unlimited websites = $196

a great savings of $340 & $402 respectively.... for your base product.

Of note, the addons look extremely useful and appealing. Many sumo-lings are going to be interested in the extended functionality the add-ons provide. For some of us, I'm sure the add-ons will be the deciding factor on whether to purchase. In particular:

Master-Detail Tables
Filters
Report Builder

A 20% discount offered on the addons? Is that for a per-year basis?? If so - that makes the deal far less appealing. In fact - it makes the offer not just financially unattractive... but rather completely unaffordable to many Sumo-lings.

Master-Detail Tables - 3 sites $69/yr & unlimited $99/yr
Filters - 3 sites $79/yr & unlimited $129/yr
Report Builder - 3 sites $69/yr & unlimited $99/yr

after 20% of that's a total of:
3 sites $173/yr
unlimited sites $262yr

For smaller Wordpress shops & solo-preneurs, that's just a lot for addons for one plugin on a yearly basis for multiple sites. Almost nobody has a 'single' site anymore.

I'm not sure how you can adjust or make the addons more affordable to us:
- a lifetime bundle package?
- lifetime individual addon prices?
- more Appsumo codes stacked for addons?

Of course, you need to do what's right for your business. I'm not a 'give the shop away' guy regarding promotions. If your intent was just to use Appsumo for more base plugin customers and then upsell the addons yearly - so be it. As well, If you were targeting the bigger dev shops and deeper pocket companies with inhouse web dev - that's fine as well. You have to first be responsible for being a profitable business.

Sumo-lings can be powerful advocates of your products and business across the 'interweb'. A great army of good PR and marketers; we just have to be able to have the meal - not just a taste; and, we have to be able to afford it.

Hopefully, there's something in the offer that can be adjusted to include or purchase the addons as an LTD

best regards and good luck with your promotion,

A: Hi Eric,

I totally get your point. Thanks for taking the time to explain your point of view in detail - that means a lot and is much appreciated.

We plan to launch lifetime deals for addons, hopefully in April or May. It needs more preparation that we haven't finished yet. This deal, though, is just for wpDataTables and we think it is still a great deal.

20% off for Sumo-lings will count for lifetime plans as well. In case you buy a 1 yr subscription license now and you want to upgrade to lifetime plan you will get 20% off + price will be deducted for what you have already paid.

I am sorry that we haven't finished lifetime plans for add ons in time, but it will be the same offer for you guys when we launch them this spring.

Have a nice day!

Hello Nevena...

Thanks and much respect for the lightning-fast reply.

For me - I really appreciate the consideration and think its a great solution. Pick up the yearly addon now... and then when your LTD comes out; Sumo-lings get 20% off and the already purchased add-on amount will be applied against the cost of the LTD price. (if I have that correct)

Very responsible to your business while also giving us a chance to upgrade the feature. win-win - Thanks

Have a great day and enjoy a lovely beverage with your tacos.

best regards,

Eric

I am not tryign to be an a.....e to sumolings but sometimes great product needs yearly support. Going from codecanyon to your own website/appsumo there is a reason for that. So they offer us lifetime cool. Add Ons I prefer to charge us then dissapear due to financial difficult in the future.

I waited for for long ass time, please don't do anything short term instead focus on long term please :) I really need this.

Hi Sumolixie,

No need to worry, we are focusing on the long term, that is one of the reasons we wanted to move from Envato and start to sell our products on our own. As you might already know wpDataTables exist from 2014 and hopefully, many successful years are in front of us. :)

It would be great if you can cross-sell LTD for the sumolings for unlimited sites for a reasonable price when its ready, hope sumolings will get a great price and a great deal from your awesome company :)

You've read my mind.

Looks good as a purchase. But wait until they looped you in on the cost of the add-ons later.

Ninjatables seems to include many features which wpdatatable does not. I regret not purchasing their BlackFriday offer but would rather pay the differences rather than deal with wpdatatable baiting tactic.

Hi,

No, we have not said that. We just said that lifetime licenses will be available on our website and that we will provide 20% discount for any of the add-ons or bundles if you have wpDataTables premium plugin.

Have a nice day!

Ok, thank you.

Do we know the level of price minus the 20% about the formidable addon in the context of lifetime ?

Have a nice day too.

Master Detail & Filters on a lifetime unlimited deal would be essential to my purchase of WP Datatables. Your main competitor is NinjaTables and they provide all the functionality of your addons, plus woocommerce support included in the lifetime price. I'd rather spend my money with your company so I'll wait for the addons deal before making my decision.

Please dont leave us waiting too long :)

Hi Nico,

We do not have in plan deal for AddOns here on AppSumo, this is the deal for wpDataTables Premium plugin with lifetime updates and support. But we would like to provide a 20% discount for our AddOns, just contact us on our support platform with your purchase key.

Not sure about Ninja tables, but they do not have functionalities of our AddOns in their plugin.
