Why is your SaaS a one-time payment? That's very atypical for SaaS.

Because that's the model that works best, and in-fact that is THE one feature that is different from all other similar products in this market.

I'd be very nervous if somebody told me they will host my business data or otherwise provide a service to me forever for a single time payment. Maybe that's what makes your customers go away.

I think you might need to reevaluate a few premises if you want to succeed.

[ezekg → skwee357]

I would recommend never competing solely on price.
