Hold your breath Ladies and Gentlemen... prices changed!
It's only a few weeks ago that we rearranged products and updated pricing. Turns out that it doesn't really work all that well. Moreover, it doesn't sync with our plans for a new product and overall strategy. All in all, we see fewer sales, which is clearly bad money-wise, but is also disturbing when we think about our mission and dreams of product expansion. So, before Hookie is out, we decided to make another adjustment...
New Pricing
90-Day License - $39
400-Day License - $99
Permanent License - $299
Prime - $998
Prime includes: one permanent Dolphin license, mobile apps re-branding rights, desktop app re-branding rights, 3 years of Premium Membership at BoonEx Unity; one installation; PrimExtras and "Featured Listing".

Premium Membership
As you may already know we plan to move BoonEx.com to the Dolphin platform. With this update, we'll also introduce "Premium Membership", which will substitute for "Contributor Membership", for the same price ($20/month). The real news here is that we plan to actually turn it into a service, with proper support, extras, features, exclusive info, etc.
For any questions regarding your current license update or about the new pricing, please contact Mike at presale@boonex.com .
I hope and believe that this will be a great change. There's now simply no software with a comparable feature set available at this same price-range. Dolphin should have been, and now is, very affordable. We want to spread out and become widely-adopted, and a larger userbase and infrastructure will help us improve the product and attract more partners and developers.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
Big step in the right direction !
THIS IS NOT COOL
Thanks to Boonex for this insight, this will give more people to setup a good site.
Not like it really matters but would the money be dealt with the AUD or the USD?

Your new 'prime' appears to now be just one licence, whereas the smartpro that it replaced was 3 licences.
Or is it just bad wording?
Thanks.
Oh and BTW - are your prices Australian or USD.
This is really a generous offer! Godspeed!
hahahahahahaha

and nice prices .. but please allow payments for moneybookers.com bank I'm waiting this step :)
thank you so much BOONEX

Andrew, I believe you have made the right decision to lower prices. It is a proven fact, that higher prices don't always result in higher profits. I believe you will see a much higher sales volume see more
With that said, I really think Boonex is missing the larger picture when it comes to clearing a profit on Dolphin.
The #1 thing that will get you sales is to get Dolphin 7 finished & out the door. Many people don't realize that their licenses will follow them on an upgrade. There have been many questions posted about this in the forums and answers sections. see more
Amazon is in the retailing business -- of course they have to have plenty of items to sell because, well, that's what retailers do. Dolphin is hardly a retailer.
The "more options" part was what I was pushing.
See why I'm not a politician? ; )
LOL
Every product has a price tag expressing its value, and when value and price match, you have customers. Too low stretches and runs your infrastructure down, too high leaves you stranded. How do you assess the value of your product? see more
So, under this scenario, the one-off $798 (was it?) it would have cost you before to get one forever license+support will give you only two years of support instead. Total cost for us (those using ad-free) is actually higher, but entry cost is lower.
It see more
$20/month for support, to me, is not unreasonable, provided I get the agreed level of service with that (ie it REALLY delivers). At the end of the day, if it's support that truly gets me out of potholes and it's reliable, then the cost-benefit equation easily tips to the 'benefit' side.
And that's just for one site. But since I intend to run a few D-powered sites, my support cost per site will be truly low.
90 days - $90, now $39
400 days - $299, now $99
Unlim - $799, now 299
Spro - $2900, now changed to Prime, single license - $998
On the bright side, I will be going prime before my 90 days are up, so I guess I save over the long run. So okay, it doesn't completely suk. =)
If I had Premium membership, would this include getting help setting up the Ray Media Server? This is the only thing I need help with.
THIS IS NOT COOL
