I guess that someone willing to pay £7.50/month, are doing so for a 50% discount in perpetuity. That’s quite sensible really- at least in terms of locking in real users and honing in on the people worth talking to. |
It will be interesting to see how the payment gateway works, particularly when add-ons are introduced.

I think you are underestimating the team effort required in producing a payment gateway for such a project, it's a massive task.
Now it's in place, I assume, it should make ongoing development of new features easier, particularly in relation to payment gateway and charging for ai modules or more complex features. |
Am surprised there's not more chatter this morning, it's a major announcement.... And the company have kept their promise to launch in Q1, removing any niggling doubt about potential delays... |
Bonio, what do you mean? There are loads more features than 12 months ago. I agree I'm slightly surprised they've launched without a few key features, but that gives them the opportunity to drop those features with a further big fanfare in the coming (hopefully) few weeks - perhaps at SXSW? |
Great news that we may have some revenue very shortly! Good to see that it didn't 'leak' either....I guess they're launching early with the half-price lifetime deal as a win-win: a bargain price for the customer in exchange for a few features still being under development, and for Blackbird a chance to get early feedback from the mass market rather than a handful of testers.What I don't understand is the distinction between the free and the paid version? 500Gb and 1 extra seat for collaboration OK. What about any difference in features? Or are they abandoning the free version entirely? |

It's a good deal. |
50% lifetime discount is interesting |
Very exciting news.
elevate.io income stream in place from this Tuesday 🙂🍾 |
Yes. Be keen to see take up rates |
Exciting news |
Has anyone been able to do a (short) comparative review of Sequence and Elevate? |
I do admire what the guys at Sequence have built, I think they discovered this ain’t easy. |

Something I missed on Sequence pricing was on the
‘Hobby’ free level it says
for teams trying Sequence
That suggests to me they will limit your time at free level |

To be fair Sequence will need a lot of Cloud resources to give it a chance of working.
I think Stephen has mentioned how efficient Blackbird technology is (ignored by the stock market)
High efficiency means lower resources which means lower costs.
Efficiency means we can hyper scale while other technologies would be challenging and expensive
And that’s why we are likely to be worth a lot of money to big tech who have to have a low cost hyper scale solution that just work for millions or hundreds of millions of customers around the world.

Haha sounds a bit bullish by your standards, b! |
The pricing for Sequence looks extortionate.
Little hope for them once a better and cheaper product is launched. |
Open Goal sums it up |
"So the competition is all Mickey Mouse?"
encouraging, all still using the same basic tech. need to make hay before a new bright spark comes on the scene. open goal for elevate. hopefully a platform to establish it as industry standard. |
Bring on the Cowboy Boots and Caviar! |
Just moving the champagne from the cellar to the pantry.
😊 |
Sounds like a load of symbolics.
I’ll wait and buy a case ;-) |
It would be symbolic. |
Why would you put a bottle of champagne aside? Will the shops sell out once the share price goes up?
If you wait till then, the cost of a bottle will seem insignificant relative to today as you’ll be so much richer. |
