+Weird one, they also sell credit cards oddly, so must be a kickback extra revenu thing, they all advertise the cashback benefits that scale with the level of license, fucking oddball shit.

+They have 6 tiers with 3 lower ones with less features and user count and 3 larger ones with mroe features and bigger user count.  problem with that is some smaller shops need the bigger features so I really think sticking with all features to all users without any bullshit is going to be easier for people to buy into and simpler to market with less fuckery.

+Unlimited users is 299/mo which is 9/mo per user for a 30 count of users but could go unlimited.  I guess we could offer an unlimited if we just threw in the price of a high end server and said fuck it do what you want.
+Their 20 user comparable is$199.00/mo or again 10 bucks a month with a 20% discount for yearly, Im' seeing this number a lot but only when it's a significant number of users
+10 users is 12 bucks per user per month
+5 users is 12 bucks per user per month, I really don't know what they are thinking
+up to 2 users is free but only if hyou sign up for their payment / credit card system which is fucking weird again so a kickback scheme of some kind tha tmust be pretty prefitable to be worth it

 IDEA: figure out average license cost over all sizes of existing license sales, factor _that_ with the 19.4% inflation figure Joyce determined before and make that the average license price??
 For active subscribers the average price paid for licenses was 121.25 so with inflation of 19.4 that would be 144.78.
 Tech counts by level is single=30 $4,770.00 total sales, 5=85 $11,815.00 total sales, 10=110 $13,090.00 total sales, 15=15 $1650.00 total sales, 20=100 $9,900.00 total sales

+##### Add-ons upgrades

+- STORAGE: So we assume a cheap ass droplet and offer add-on's like more storage attachment space for XX / mo which is really just the digitalocean pricing plus a premium overhead for contingencies if they want  it
+- RAM / CPU: maybe we offer basic server but they can upgrade to levels for additional per month
+- Anything we get billed extra for, as it stands we don't care how powerful they need, ayanova supports it, but we don't pay for it, they do.
