That's true. I wanted this specific pen for its quality.
My point actually was that it's pretty much non-sense to complain about a free tool. You probably did the right thing, as a developer, you built your own system.
Why is it nonsense? They posted it here, do they not want feedback? This isn't a free advertising site you know. Once you say something like free, you can't take it back.
In case you weren't aware it's $10 per month. Per month. Say your $20 pen lasts 5 years. Add maybe another $30 in refills. That's $50. In the same time moqups would cost you $500.
And also if you stopped paying they might take away everything you'd 'written'.
I certainly think it's worth the money for companies. Just not for individuals.
Matt, I don't think feedback is non-sense. Never! What I find difficult to understand is why one would expect something to be free. And more, negotiate on that 'free product'. It's really not about moqups here, but about products in general.
And I think that it's not about companies vs. individuals. It doesn't matter if you're a company or not. What it matters is that the products does a job for you and you benefit from it somehow. There is a profit you gain from using the product. You should accept the idea of making a little investment in order to get that profit. You don't get free coffee at Starbucks, or free chips or McDonalds or free breakfast at a gas station, just like that. You pay for everything in the real world.
Software should be cheap, but not free. My opinionated 2 cents. :)
Hi Matt, don't worry - we really appreciate and reflect upon all kinds of feedback, specially the most honest ones. We may disagree on various topics, but that's what makes a good debate!
