SWIFTPAGE ACT! – THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACT! SUBSCRIPTION AND PERPETUAL LICENSE

January 30, 2017 by Jim Camomile
Category: Covid19 Crisis

Swiftpage has recently moved to a new pricing and sales platform for Act! CRM. While this may seem confusing at first, you will quickly realize the simplicity generated and the benefits added to only maintaining one version.

    • The Subscription is what you are used to elsewhere (ie: MS Office 365, Netflix, Adobe, etc.) with a monthly option or an annual option at a discount (two months free). Should you let the license lapse, you relinquish access to Act! and it turns off.
    • Perpetual licensing allows you to “buy” the license. Should you decide not to renew after a year, then you keep the rights to the license at the version most current at the end of your term. When you renew, you will have the choice to either subscribe or pass.
    • All licenses, Subscription and Perpetual, have the same functional features.  Includes Act! technical support at the level formerly known as Silver. The new Gold is a premium support plan you can add on to your purchase for $5.00 per user per month, flat, regardless of the number of users. Support is included for Tandem Hosting Customers, which is superior in quality. Training is also available from Tandem.
    • Auto-update. Built into the new release is the option to be notified when an update is available, with a link to the download. By default this option is active, but notifications can be modified in Tools>Preferences for administrators.
    • Pricing. You will notice that the price, relative to years passed, is about the same. Most models are no more than 9% higher, some are less, including support. Swiftpage has added 90 positions, while also improving the quality of the techs and anticipating the requirements of users joining the subscription model.
    • We are recommending that you continue to renew your subscription so that you don’t lose access to your information or have to pay for the license again in the future.
