DIY_Design Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Has the switch to a SaaS-only model increased overall sales, or have you seen a loss of customers due to the higher costs for small businesses and individual users? Offering the software for purchase, along with the SSA support subscription, would make it more accessible and set you apart from competitors like AutoCAD, which is the same annual price. As a hobby designer who bought the software back in X10, I do appreciate being able to keep my investment updated via the SSA subscription, but if it was $2k a year just to use it, that would put it out off consideration and I imagine that would be the case for potential one-person shops and individual buyers as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why I'm stuck at X14. I would have been inclined to upgrade every other year, but the subscription model is pushing me toward Revit, which costs significantly less ($14/yr) with discounted licenses.
