Nifty Stats no longer Free?
 

So today when checking stats I get a message saying Nifty Stats no longer supports a free version. Is this correct? Ok I get the fact nobody bought your advertisements......fine....whatever. But for nearly the same price per month anyone else thinks Stats Remote is a better option?

lame, they should at least let it run in read-only mode or something so I can grab all my account numbers passwords, etc

I agree.....

Got this in email.


There is always Stats Remote or you can pay for Nifty Stats Pro

isn't another software ( new, free, russian ) launched recently ?
Looks like a great opportunity for them...
.

If anyone comes across a free one please do share. :)

News to me. URL or info??? Fuck it....might as well just pay for Stats Remote I suppose.

yes but if they also won't be able to sell ads then guess what :2 cents:

PS i'm buying NS for long time and it is worth it, if you are professional affiliate then it's still cheap and if you promote 2 sponsors and earn $50 monthly then you don't really need anything to track stats.

From their behaviour ,it was obvious that is coming.They tried everything, but never got idea to make product more affordable for hundreds small webmasters, and they would have solution. 5 or 10 bucks monthly or something like that, end everyone would pay. Now, they will just irritate people and . From what I know, stats remote is also not free.

it says you have 30 days for free so what is the problem?

Yes, 100% yes.

Probably a pretty tough business to offer software like that and update constantly while depending on advertiser support. Advertising is usually one of the first things that gets cut in someone's budget.

I've used it, it's a pretty good product. At the end of the day, it saves a ton of time and if you are an affiliate that does any sort of stats analysis (which you should), software like this is essential. Consider it part of running a business and help pitch in to keep the software running, if possible. Without paying subscribers, they will no doubt have to close shop soon enough.

mine doesn't run anymore, not a huge deal though.... :(

I already have Pro, but I've checked that message and it says you should get 30 day version, try to contact them.

bad move, i know they are good buy they will lose now lots of small wms...

Same here, I had to log into their main site and download PRO which is free for 30 days and all my program info is still there

because? I'd like to know.

I get what your saying about it making life easier but the upkeep on these types of programs can't be that time consuming once they're built. I can see pricing it the anti-virus route of $40-$50 a year but $20 a month (or $30 in the case of Stats Remote) over and over is too much in this climate. Heck, if they did $9.95 a month, they'd probably retain/gain many more customers.

exactly
 

Yes, exactly, but let hem learn by themselves, next move is exactly that, price lowering, and they will finally find their profit after long time of experimentation and kill competition.

I'm happy to pay for Stats Remote, it costs much less than 1% of my earnings and provides invaluable information and saves lots of time. The subscription model works because it's constantly updated.

why not just pay if you like what you get. Stop freeloading, get used to pay for stuff.

hahaha NOOOOOOOO :1orglaugh

If you cant afford $19.95 a month to track you earnings....well..

SR has a much cleaner and easier to use interface and their support/programme additions is tops. :)

ok it's matter of preferences

glad to hear that, the same in NS

I never liked how nifty displayed stats. Some programs were inaccurate, rarely worked or weren't supported at all. Stats Remote is more expensive but there's a reason for that I guess.

Anyone tried it? Is it legit?

There's something about the words "Free" and "Russia" that makes me stay away from that application. :winkwink:

Always funny to see people crying over $20 a month :1orglaugh

Just get the Pro version, it works really good

I just bought a computer a month ago to use Nifty stats. Since the don't have a Mac OSX script. WTF.

Stats Remote works on OS X and is probably better anyway.

:error

Me too, but it might be really good, just makes me nervous :)

My drug dealer used to give it to me for free until I started needing it.

$800 later

Smh

ouch , is biz, really dieing ?

Nifty Stats is only 20 .... SR for 30 per month maybe SR has more programs but Nifty Stats is more comfortable and has much more functions and it's a cheaper solution.
