I am comparing your products to Zap Calendar, a premium Joomla extension. I’m comfortable with both Joomla and WordPress. so my decision will come down to calendar features. Looking at the differences, it seems that Zap Calendar is a way better value, as it seems to have a lot of functionality that’s not present with your plugin suite, and at maybe a third of the cost! All that said, I would probably prefer to work in WordPress, so I’d like you to sell me on the features that your products have in comparison. <\/p>\n
Below are some of the features I’m interested in. Please comment on whether or not there is a workable solution with WordPress and your products, or if there is a comparable feature in Events Calendar Pro or one of your plugins:<\/p>\n
1. Event comments: I want my visitors to be able to leave comments about each individual event. Zap Calendar has a free plugin for this. Ideally, when leaving a comment, users could opt-in to receive email updates when someone else comments on the same event.<\/p>\n
2. Social Media posting: Zap calendar doesn’t have a plugin for this specifically, but they describe a way to automatically post events to Facebook using the free Twitter Feed service. Could something similar be done with the Events Calendar? I believe Zap Calendar uses an RSS feed to accomplish this feature. Are RSS feeds generated for the Events Calendar?<\/p>\n
3. Social Media “likes”: Zap Calendar has a plugin for adding social media “like” \/ share buttons on each event. Is there a way to include something similar on each event page using the Events Calendar?<\/p>\n
4. RSVPs and Email reminders: Zap Calendar has plugins that allow users to RSVP for an event and also to send them email reminders close to the event date. Is there similar functionality for the Events Calendar?<\/p>\n
5. Email subscriptions: If I understand it correctly, Zap Calendar has a plugin that allows visitors to subscribe to event categories and receive email updates when a new event is posted in that category. Do you offer a similar feature?<\/p>\n
…And finally, some questions about your pricing and policies:<\/p>\n
6. Do you offer a discount for purchasing multiple The Events Calendar Pro bundled with several plugins? I’m thinking I would need at least the following: Events Calendar Pro, Event Tickets plugin, Community Events plugin, ICAL Importer plugin, Facebook Events plugin, and Filter Bar plugin. <\/p>\n
7. I’m getting a total cost of $365 for a personal license only. Zap Calendar is charging $119 total, with all plugins included for free. Tell my why it’s so much more!<\/p>\n
8. How does your refund policy work?<\/p>\n
Thank you!
