Pricing issue#12
Hello,
I work in an agency that use October CMS as main CMS since some times now.
I really like the idea to manage all websites with one dashboard, but we have hundreds of website, and I couldn’t imagine paying several hundreds of dollars per month, just for a dashboard.
I could be interested for an unlimited website offer, around 50 buck per month.
Just wanted to share my opinion with you, cause I would be happy to be one of your customer, but the pricing policy is crippling actually.
Best regards,
Alex
Hi Alex,
Thanks very much for your feedback. It’s always great to hear that agencies are fully embracing October! We hear you, managing hundreds of sites cost effectively can definitely be a challenge.
The great thing about 1Pilot is that the ‘dashboard’ that allows you to centrally view your sites is really just the way we’ve laid out a more comprehensive tool in a simple format. For your money, you’re actually getting:
- Remote plugin update/install
- Uptime monitoring
- SSL certificate reminders
- Private plugin updates from GitHub
- Server & configuration monitoring
Plus our two next features very close to be released:
- Error logging – view and manage a complete log of errors across your sites
- Email validation
- The system validates the status of your emails at regular intervals
- Checks the spam score, SPF & DKIM records
We’ve priced this competitively across similar SaaS applications like OhDear. And, we have a really great discount model for larger site volumes. For 150 sites, you’d actually only pay $1.40 * 150 = $210/month for the massive amount of time-saving that comes with managing that functionality in one place across all those sites. If you’re then charging clients for website maintenance, the tool pays for itself several times over (we’re releasing a guide on this soon).
We hope this helps. If you’d like to discuss it in more detail, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Drop us a message on support@1pilot.io
