HI @pokodex
During the 10 years of the NS Cloner’s lifetime, its value and capabilities have gone up and its price has gone down or stayed the same. We’ve done a lot of experiments from feature add-ons to bundles to various subscription time intervals. Ultimately, we’ve tried to remove all confusion from the equation and offer an amazing tool at an amazing low price. But we learned that isn’t sustainable.
That’s why we made the decision a few years ago to bring the pricing of Cloner up closer to its actual value. Most businesses based on WordPress don’t think twice about spending more than $300 /year for reliable hosting like WPEngine or marketing tools like OptinMonster or shipping solutions like ShippingEasy or ShipStation EACH. You can build an entire business based on the totally FREE NS Cloner from the WordPress.org repository. But for businesses that need more, we’re 100% confident that Cloner Pro delivers even more value to you and your revenue than any of those other services which start their pricing at $300 /year and up.
One last thought… How valuable is your TIME? You might think of this as an hourly rate you would typically bill your clients and customers. Or, this could be the amount you earn hourly from a day job. Or maybe this would be an average hourly amount you need to charge per project to ensure you can pay your employees and contractors. In any case, come up with a number per hour – how would you valuate your own time?
That being said, If you are just wanting to copy one site one time, then maybe Cloner isn’t the right product fit for you specific situation. We built Cloner to help those that need to either frequently or periodically copy websites. So, if you are just wanting a one-off solution I would definitely search the WordPress plugin repo!
Thanks and let us know if you have any more questions or concerns 🙂
