Increasing costs but no more features!

[Thomas Bügel]

Hi,

Slightly more then a year ago I paid for the TEC-Pro plugin and the Wooticket extension together $100, now I have to pay $180, that is much more!!
I can not see, that there are some features added the community is waiting for years now, as wpml compatibility or creating tickets for recurring events or simple social sharing capabilities for every event.
Or I’m wrong with that? Please let me know. I’m in decision for a new project.

With regards

Tom

Hi there, Tom!

Thanks for getting in touch and sharing your thoughts here. We did indeed increase our prices in the last couple of weeks and a Personal License for both PRO and WooTickets run $89 apiece, where they ran $65 previously.

We do run a fairly aggressive development schedule and are releasing new features on a regular basis. While some of them might be more exciting (such as shortcodes) others are much more invisible but very necessary (such as performance and accessibility).

You can track our progress in our Release Notes.

Some of the features you point out are definitely long-awaited features. For example, tickets on recurring events where a global stock of tickets is shared across events is definitely something we’re working on though, as you might imagine, requires an overhaul to our ticketing framework that takes a significant effort to build and test. We’re definitely on the side of releasing new features quickly, but want to take care and release the best product possible for things like this.

Some of the other features you mention are a double-edged sword. For example, there are some things we can do to better integrate with WPML. We’ve made some of those adjustments and more are still to come. At the same time, there is some work the WPML team will need to do as well and we have reached out to build that bridge.

When we consider the price next to the features of the plugins, what is coming to the plugins, and the level of support that is provided with the plugins, we see a very fair value and hope you see the same.

Thanks again for reaching out and I do hope this helps answers your question. Please let me know if you have any additional follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Tom!

This thread has been quiet for a couple of weeks, so I’m going to go ahead and close it. Please feel free to start a new thread if you still have any questions or comments here and we’d be happy to help out. 🙂
