I agree with your general sentiment, and it's important for businesses to have good communication.

At the same time, the "Premium Personal" price is a one-time payment of $29. My basic chicken sandwich meal at Whataburger was $11 dollars.

Point being, it's obvious to me that this is 1 dude who is developing this, so I'm not going to expect flawless communication for the price of 2.5 Whataburger meals. I'd much prefer to deal with that than have something like a monthly subscription SaaS charge.

That's your opinion, and it's ok, but my employer bought the business version (4.5 whataburgers), and it bought multiple licenses (about 20 or 25 whataburgers, where's the tipping point?), plus I personally spent a lot of time (based on my compensation, likely 50+ whataburgers) vouching for a new vendor and then all the corporate b.s. like establishing purchase orders, creating new budget line items, etc, as well as justifying the purchase to IT dept which believes that Excel handles CSV files just fine.

Doesn't have to be flawless but a full year delay is a little much. I'm not even with that employer anymore.

The real dropped ball isn't the delay, but the communication (or lack there of) of same.

~$1000 USD based on the quoted Whatsburger/USD cross rate.

These coffee/meal prices differ a lot between countries. Similarly, there are huge differences how often people living in different countries can easily afford to eat out or buy a coffee at some café.
