Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    Hello,

    Will you give lifetime license for the add-ons? I plan to write a review on appsumo between wpdatatable and ninja table https://wpmanageninja.com/downloads/ninja-tables-pro-add-on/

    It looks like ninja table doesn't charge for future plug-ins. So in essential, wpdatatable would be a more expensive purchase when considering the add-ons are annual renew.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Best regards,

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for you massage!

    As I have explained on the deal's page, we do not have lifetime licenses for add-ons at the moment, but in next couple of months we plan to have it on our website. We will provide 20% off for all licenses and bundle licenses for add-ons. 

    In case someone buys now, he can claim 20% and pay the difference.

    Hi Nevena,

    I am going to go wait for Ninjatable to go on sale. They don't offer the bait and hook on pricing model. wpdatable tend to charge as add-on for features that should be included. If you want to charge more, then at least offer the lifetime option for those. Buyers do not like to buy things just to realized later has to pay for every thing else.

    Please let me know when you have the lifetime offer. Otherwise, there are better options.

    I urge you to read the Appsumo users comments and question. The very first one they did was pointed out how wpdatatable charging model. Not a good way to start with appsumoling community. You may even get negative reviews.

    Kind regards,

    Andy

    Hi Andy,

    You might get something wrong, we are on AppSumo with our premium plugin - wpDataTables and all the features are included that we regality have in this plugin on our website.

    We have add-ons for wpDataTables, those are add-ons that we have normally on our website and we sell them separately since we launched them, so, of course, they are not included in the wpDataTables deal since the deal is for wpDataTables premium plugin solely, not for add-ons. 

    wpDataTables plugin can be used without add-ons, not everyone need add-ons, actually there much more people for whom wpDataTables is sufficient - we can agree that it is feature-rich plugin.

    We plan to launch lifetime licenses for Add-ons soon, we haven't finished that with our payment provider, so it will be a little bit late, but we will provide 20% discount for all licenses. 

    Hope you understand now and have a nice day!

    Hello,

    I understand now. Thank you for taking the time to reply with detail. I know you are busy and I appreciate your time.

    My view about wpdatatable will change once the add-ons are offer lifetime license. Will the lifetime license also include all future add-ons?

    Below is one of the comments that users on appsumo are saying. I will copy and paste here:

    Hello wpDataTable...

    The base Appsumo deal looks to be a great discount when compared to your already established LTD pricing.

    3 websites = 389 vs Appsumo offer 3 websites = $49
    unlimited websites = $598 vs Appsumo Offer unlimited websites = $196

    a great savings of $340 & $402 respectively.... for your base product.

    Of note, the addons look extremely useful and appealing. Many sumo-lings are going to be interested in the extended functionality the add-ons provide. For some of us, I'm sure the add-ons will be the deciding factor on whether to purchase. In particular:

    Master-Detail Tables
    Filters
    Report Builder

    A 20% discount offered on the addons? Is that for a per-year basis?? If so - that makes the deal far less appealing. In fact - it makes the offer not just financially unattractive... but rather completely unaffordable to many Sumo-lings.

    Master-Detail Tables - 3 sites $69/yr & unlimited $99/yr
    Filters - 3 sites $79/yr & unlimited $129/yr
    Report Builder - 3 sites $69/yr & unlimited $99/yr

    after 20% of that's a total of:
    3 sites $173/yr
    unlimited sites $262yr

    For smaller Wordpress shops & solo-preneurs, that's just a lot for addons for one plugin on a yearly basis for multiple sites. Almost nobody has a 'single' site anymore.

    I'm not sure how you can adjust or make the addons more affordable to us:
    - a lifetime bundle package?
    - lifetime individual addon prices?
    - more Appsumo codes stacked for addons?

    Of course, you need to do what's right for your business. I'm not a 'give the shop away' guy regarding promotions. If your intent was just to use Appsumo for more base plugin customers and then upsell the addons yearly - so be it. As well, If you were targeting the bigger dev shops and deeper pocket companies with inhouse web dev - that's fine as well. You have to first be responsible for being a profitable business.

    Sumo-lings can be powerful advocates of your products and business across the 'interweb'. A great army of good PR and marketers; we just have to be able to have the meal - not just a taste; and, we have to be able to afford it.

    Hopefully, there's something in the offer that can be adjusted to include or purchase the addons as an LTD

    best regards and good luck with your promotion,

    Hi Andy,

    I have already answer to that gentleman on AppSumosmile.png

    We will have lifetime licenses for Add-on on our website and we will provide 20% off.

    I am not sure that we will have some future add-ons. If we launch some new add-ons in the future, we will provide 20% for them as well.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Nevena,

    I have purchased and applied all 4 codes. Could you please confirm that I have done it correctly and that my account is now unlimited?

    Also, do I need an activation code for the plug-in?

    Kind regards,

    Andy

    Hi Andy,

    Nevena is out of the office at the moment, so I will answer.

    Yes, both licenses are unlimited licenses so you can have our plugins on unlimited number of domains.

    Best regards.
