wyBuild Pricing

A few days ago, the wyBuild Overview page showed the [Buy wyBuild] button for $70 with a slash through $250 "(until Feb. 29th)".

My team is interested in auto-updating, and the wyBuild/wyUpdate solution seemed like the best overall approach.

So, I just integrated wyUpdate and wyBuild into one of our projects, including a "Publish" batch file which does MSBuild, and uses wyBuild command line to build and push updates to a temporary mock server. Awesome. I tell my teammates about it. Then, I tell them about the upcoming price increase and they say "Sounds like a bait & switch. What's the catch?"

Now the page shows the same button but with "(until Mar. 31st)". o_O

Please explain.

We're playing with the price. We're going to raise the price when wyBuild 2.7 is out, but it's not coming until at earliest the end of March -- hence the moved dates. We hope we can get wyBuild 2.7.0 out before March 31st.

If you buy wyBuild now (or before the end of March) you get the current price. You still get free updates to 2.6.x, 2.7, 2.8, and beyond. If you wait until we raise the price, you get the exact same product (with free updates) at a higher price. Simple as that.

There's no bait and switch. The reason we state when we plan to raise the price is that potential customers get mad at us if we raise the price without giving them notice.

If you and your team needs more days to test wyBuild just send us an email at support@wyday.com and we'll send you a trial extension.

You know, maybe it's worthwhile to simply state that on the purchasing page. As someone who has bought this software, then seen the price increase pushed off two, maybe three times - it's a bit frustrating.

We didn't mean to take quite so long to release version 2.7.
