  • About $3/mo. But for a lifetime deal you’re also buying the risk. If they go bankrupt, stop honoring the lifetime deal, or any variation thereof tomorrow, you’re out $750 - lifetime deals, where they exist are often heavily discounted compared to normal rates due to this. 20 years is though quite a long time. Plex is only 16 years old.

    In a perfect world a company would limit the amount of lifetime deals available and only have them in the beginning to get some quick cash allowing them to scale. I don’t think Plex is running a very good business, which also devalues the lifetime deal.

















  • Yeah, we didn’t have those… We had one guy with prior experience of working in SNow on our team, none on the implementers’ team. He called the chaos and boy was he right. For reference, it was a company with 1000 people which were supposed to get SNow since the parent company wanted it (in total 20k people IIRC across all subsidiaries). No one thought to think that an agile software house required quite a lot of changes to the SNow setup to fit in together with all the old-school waterfall people it was designed for.
