Prosper 202 not free anymore?

Well....

The way you make moeny with open source is that you offer services, like the server they offer, install help, maintenance, etc..

Why it has to be free? Because they are using code that was provided free in their software.
That is how the virality in Open Source Software works. You use a significant component that is OSS, your software becomes OSS.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux might be a good example. They make a lot of money updating and supporting open source software.
 


Nana if you're reading the $39 /mo price really needs to be reduced. I love Prosper 202 but its not worth it even if I can afford it. Drop it to something like $9.99 or $14.95/mo.

CPV Lab = $297 first year, $147 /year after ($25, then $12 /mo)

Let me buy a year, I don't want a monthly recurring bill I have to keep up with. Just sell me a year or a lifetime license or something.
 
this is an interesting marketing strategy... to offer something for free with the perception of keeping it free, gain tons of users, and then start charging after they are truly dependent on it. Of course you'll have a lot of people who leave purely based on the simple-minded psychology of "paying for something that was supposed to always be free" as you can see from the responses in this thread. But it would be interesting to see this model compared to a standard free trial model, pay up-front model, or keep-free-with-advertisements model, which one wins in the end in terms of $.
 
I've been away from CPA Marketing for about a year now...come back (expecting to dive into Prosper) and see this.

Now this choice: P202 or CPVLab...Hmmm?

Isn't there something called improvely?
 
cpvlab is way more better than p202. Had I shifted to cpvlab a few months back I'd have made couple more grands this year.
 
if you can trust hosted tracking.. voluum by the zeropark lot is free (for now dunno how long) and is proper packed with features.. I've not set anything up with it yet, so can't comment on speeds etc, but had a poke around inside, the reporting looks awesome..
 
^^ of course

What happened to that? Who got screwed and for how much? There is so little publicity/details around it. Still a mystery to me. Meanwhile, Bloosky seems to have disappeared into the thin air.
 
A friend of mine just asked me for tracking software and he doesn't have $300 to dish out for CPVLab. I recommended he try Prosper since I recall it's cheaper.
I just visited their website to check the price for him and it looks like it's free again.

Did they have a change of heart and make it free again or is that just to lure you in to pull out your credit card at a later stage?

The paid options including Prosper202 1.8 moved to the Tracking202 domain.
 
Ooops.. I forgot..

They STILL had the license information on the site when I checked / opened this thread.

If it was OSS and they didn't do a complete rewrite (which seems like 1.8 would not be) then it's still open source whether Nana likes it or not.

I have a 1.7.2 repo on github that could be forked. Or just use a better paid product. P202 was great when it came out but once it moves into the paid realm there are better options. I'd go imobitrax or CPVlab over paid p202 easily.
 
Just spoke to Nana today. He sent out an e-mail this morning announcing that 1.8.2 will be free with an optional paid support subscription.
