Like others, I’ve already voiced my concerns about the limitations on the “Pro” tier. I love the Soloist designation and it fits me pretty closely. So don’t discriminate against me just because I’m not on a team.
Here’s one reason I think limits on Cross-Docs, Packs and Automations makes life difficult for the soloist who has invested a lot of time building out solutions in Coda:
For the life of me, I just can’t see why the pricing schedule couldn’t be simplified. Give ALL Makers – team or solo – the same maker-powers (Packs, Automations and Cross Docs). Charge a base price for Teams because of the sharing, admin and permissions powers and a per seat price for each maker on the team.
As others have noted, Coda’s awesomeness is going to incent a lot of team editors or users to eventually become makers. You could make this easier for the CFO to swallow if the cost for more makers declines on a per-seat basis.
Simple pricing structure
Free – limit the number and size of docs you can be a maker on (maybe 5, with 5000 elements?) to give new users a full taste of Coda’s greatness.
Maker – all maker-powers, unlimited docs and doc sizes.
Teams – Base price for sharing, admin and permissions powers, plus per Maker rate.
With respect,
JB
