Data export, backups and premium subscriptions are here!

We just soft launched our premium subscription service with a couple of features that a lot of you have been asking for in data backup and export. We’re also trying something different that you won’t see on many other services on the web: name your own pricing for premium services. We’ll suggest a monthly price based on your usage level, but ultimately you know what SlimTimer is worth to you.

There will also be discrete, and like our taglines hopefully amusing, ads on the timer window for non-premium users which will be rolled out next week.

Finally, a big thanks goes out to the two newest members of the SlimTimer team: Scott Rutherford and Daniel Beardsley, for helping put all this together. With SlimTimer soon to be a profitable venture and two extra hands we should start making light work of our backlog.

Thanks again for using SlimTimer and lending your support.

Greetings,

I’m willing to support SlimTimer– it is handy!

But, would it be possible to pay for a year at a time, via Paypal?

Thanks

I just signed up for a subscription - slimtimer is such an important resource to my business (http://www.bostonwebstudio.com/), it’s well-worth it.

Please, please, please keep up the fantastic work!

I would be glad to support ST, but two things:

1. My recommended monthly cost is $18.
2. I don’t need the premium features.

In the past I’ve had to account for my hours very strictly. Now I don’t have that requirement. I’d happily pay $5/mo for the standard license, or deal with ads, whichever gives you more revenue. At $5/mo, I feel like I’m not paying enough for the premium features. Is there a way to do a monthly payment for just the standard features?

Thanks. ST is really one of the best niche apps out there.

@Marc Thanks for your support! We plan to keep on chugging.

@Peter The premium account is our way of letting people like yourself support our effort even if you don’t need those features. I would simply ask you to pay what you feel SlimTimer as a whole is worth to you rather than what the extra features are worth. If this is $5/mo then that’s great and we’d appreciate the support.

Happily paying for the SlimTimer use. It works well for me. Weird thing is I still get the ads showing up in the timer window version of the slimtimer thing. I refresh and they go away, but they tend to creep back in. A bit of flakiness there?

I am, too, welcoming the premium accounts. Agreeing with Bill Welch, I’d also prefer to pay for some time in advance.

BTW, I’ll pay more once you fix bug #150 — http://slimtimer.16bugs.com/projects/935/bugs/30880
