Earlier quoted context omitted.

$100 per person one-time works exactly how it reads. If you have 27 employees, it costs $2700 one time. If you hire 3 more people, it's an extra $300, one time. If you let someone go, and hire another person, it's an extra $100. We don't sell against seats, we sell against unique people. No recurring monthly or annual fees.

Thanks for the clarification. It would be very interesting to see if anyone else adopts this pricing. In spite of the flak you get from the HN crowd (the reason I am guessing, might be that you make it deceptively simple to hit $390,000 with 99% retention rate) it is always very refreshing to see your blog posts and the quality of your work is very inspiring. Thanks!

Most companies have a bit of turnover every single year. For knowledge based companies like mine, we have 3000 people at the desk. I don't know our turnover numbers, but if i ballpark it at around 20%, that would be $3M up front, then around $15000/yr perpetually, assuming that turnover rate.

For large enterprises, the upfront cost requires a bit of coaxing, while the maintenance cost is a no-brainer. I'd be curious to see where they go with larger installations. I'd love to see this product aimed at enterprises for 50-60 employees reporting up to a dirext or middle manager, while also proving insight to the executive team.
